I think another Irish name would go better, like Declan, Liam, Aidan, or Patrick.
If you don't care, I like Caleb best of your options, followed by Benjamin (Ben).
No they’re not.
Henry is German
Owen is Welsh
Charlie is English
Are you saying England and Wales aren't Britain? Also Henry is not German, what are you talking about. Name one German person named Henry (who wasn't a monarch of English origin). Maybe it's a British equivalent of Heinrich, but that is like saying Paul is a Spanish name because it's related to Paolo

??? Owen is as Welsh as Connor is Irish. Oliver is Norse/French in origin. Caleb and Benjamin, as you note, are Hebrew names. So actually, Henry is the only name on this list that is "very British" in the way that you mean.
IMO, Owen is the best match with Connor.
Wales is part of Great Britain. Oliver might be originally French but it is strongly associated with a certain orphan from London. I stand by my post.

I love Charles (and have one that we call Charlie). On your list, Henry is my favorite. Not an Owen fan at all.
Have you thought about Andrew? It would go well with Connor. You can go with either Andrew or Drew.
What about Thomas/Tom?

Agree with this. I know a set of brothers named Connor and Declan.
How about Tyrone (nickname Ty?)
