No, bulldogs are not on the list of banned dogs in England, you are thinking of 'Pitbull', which is something else entirely.
I feel sorry for bulldogs as many have a miserable life. They have been developed to such a strange shape that many of them have breathing and mobility problems, and they find it difficult to give birth naturally and it is pretty much standard for them to have puppies by caesarian. Everytime you see one it is gasping for breath.
