I'd say not- British Shorthairs have wider heads. You can look at official breed pictures here: Breed Profile: The British Shorthair

Your kitty would be called a blue tabby (if you post a side view, we could tell you what kind of tabby pattern) Domestic Shorthair. He's cute for sure!

Just to agree. Its of course difficult to see on a little kitten, its easier to see on an adult what look alike he is. I would also expect british kittens to have more of the teddy bear appareance.

The question is, why do you hope and think this may be a british shorthair?

British blue is solid collored. This is a tabby. So if it is a british citizen, we may discuss, but its not blue... Possibly blue tabby.
