Why Did The Romans Invade Britain?

The Romans invaded Britain because it suited the plans of Julius Caesar.
The republican general had conquered Gaul wanted an excuse to avoid returning to Rome.
So he seized the opportunity to mount an expedition on behalf of Commius. He wanted to conquer beyond the Great Ocean, and believed that Britain was full of silver and other valuables to be robbed.

There is no definitive answer to this question, rather there are accepted theories based on the available evidence. A variety of factors are generally cited. Among these are:
A) Britain was seen as the edge of the world. The acclaim and glory brought to the Roman general who could conquer Britain would enhance the prestige of the Republic, their family and their political prospects.
B) Rome had recently conquered Gaul (except for a small village of indomitable Gauls which held out under their chief Vitalstatistics...) and the territory was not yet fully subdued. Britain contained related Celtic tribes such as the powerful Belgae and Trinovantes, which could offer potential support and allies for Gallic rebellion.
C) Economic wealth... Britain had several valuable commodities; tin, slaves, silver and iron among them.
D) Generally antipathy to the 'barbaric' Celtic tribes and their religious practices.
E) a Roman expedition to Britain by Julius Caesar in 55 and later in 54 BC had pointed to the feasibility of invasion, and penetration/influence into Britain by Roman traders had made it possible to enact traditional Roman practices of dividing and conquering their targets
F) the Romans lacked truly good Fish and Chips shops
