The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel) (England) Regulations 2020:
PART 2
Obligations on persons arriving in England and others
4. Requirement to self-isolate
(7) [a person] must, on their arrival in England, travel directly to the place at which they are to self-isolate, and must then self-isolate until whichever is the earlier of—
(a) the end of the 14th day after the day on which they arrive in the common travel area, or
(b) their departure from England.
