"The term is generally understood to refer to the whole archipelago — south to north from Pednathise Head to Shetland in the United Kingdom, and west to east from the Tearaght Island in the Republic of Ireland to East Anglia in the United Kingdom — containing more than 6,000 islands and totalling 315,134 km² (121,674 mi²) of land."
.more than 6,000 islands.
Under the Interpretation Act 1978 of the United Kingdom, the term British Islands refers to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, together with the Crown Dependencies: the Bailiwicks of Jersey and of Guernsey (which in turn includes the smaller islands of Alderney, Herm and Sark) in the Channel Islands; and the Isle of Man.
These islands encompass an area south to north from Pednathise Head to Out Stack, Shetland in the United Kingdom, and west to east from the Tearaght Island in the Republic of Ireland to Lowestoft Ness in the United Kingdom, containing more than 6,000 islands, amounting to a total land area of 315,134 km² (121,674 sq. miles).

About 6000 if you include all of them, the tiny ones and the ones that are not inhabited
The question asks about Britain. Ireland is NOT a part of Britain.
over 6000 if you count the whole Great Britain
