No, you cannot enter the United Kingdom using only a Dutch residence permit. Since the UK is not part of the Schengen Area, and following its complete withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit), it maintains its own independent border and visa policies. A Dutch residence permit (Verblijfsvergunning) allows you to travel freely within the 29 Schengen countries, but it has no legal standing for entry into the UK. Your entry requirements are determined by the nationality of the passport you hold, not your Dutch residency. If you hold a passport from a "non-visa national" country (like the US, Japan, or most EU nations), you can enter the UK for tourism for up to six months without a visa. However, if your passport is from a "visa national" country (such as India, China, or many African nations), you must apply for a Standard Visitor Visa from the UK government before you travel, even if you have lived in the Netherlands for years. Always carry your Dutch residence permit with you, however, as you will need it to prove your right to return to the Netherlands when you fly back from the UK, but it will not help you get through the UK Border Force desk.
