Yes, as the previous answer said, there are not many differences in standard speech and grammar; in other words the way and American speaks English would not be considered incorrect in England and vice versa. The differences do you tend to be mostly with the spelling and with the usage of some words.

So while Americans wear a "sweater" the British wear a "jumper." Americans eat "potato chips" and the British eat "crisps." On a crowded train an American would "step on" your foot, but an English person would "stand on" your foot. These differences may cause some misunderstandings but otherwise it is the same language, other than the accent of course.
