This isn't strictly a British thing, but just some British publishers. I have many books by British authors published by British publishers that use double quotes for direct speech.
E.g.
English Farming and Why I Turned It Up by Ernest Bramah. Published in London in 1894. Double quotes throughout.
I much prefer double quotes for speech myself.
