Is there any other way to get to the UK without flying on a plane from the United states?

Join the Navy... see the world I'm sure there are some ship options though they surely aren't a popular option these days.

If ya got some money:
Cruises to Arabia, Africa, Europe, the Caribbean and the world on Seabourn, one of the best cruise lines

You could walk if you are really dense and don't need to breathe or if you have Superman's freeze breath and aren't really dense.

Either way it depends on how you breathe or don't and your density.

You can fly to the U.K. on a plane from Mexico or Canada, etc.

I read about this way some time ago. Looks like it is expensive though.

Hot air balloon might work...?

Somewhere along the line, you have to cross water which means there's no avoiding a boat or a plane.

Either way, the quickest route would be across the Atlantic.

The route with the least time on a boat or in the air would (in theory) be from Alaska across the Bering Straights to Russia, overland across Russia and Europe, then a short hop across the channel.

Overland across Russia and Europe might be slightly easier said than done, though

The Trans-Siberia Express is still in service and one of the finest rail journeys in the world.

You could try swimming there. Haha, in reality, your only options are boat, or plane. But remember, Titanic, boats sink. Oh and plans crash, enjoy the trip.

Rigid airship.

You could try swimming there.

In the early days of Google maps you could ask for driving directions from say San Francisco to London and in the middle you'd get the instruction "Now swim the Atlantic".
Rather boringly it no longer does this ("We could not calculate directions... " ) .

From what I can see on the website, the eastern-most destination of the Trans-Siberia Express is Beijing, China (?) rather than anywhere near the Bering Straights, so it would still be quite a long treck to get to it
