Do British citizens implicitly have Indefinite Leave to Remain?
Upvote:5
Yes. Citizens of any country have the right* to come and go as they please, to live and work wherever, and are entitled to whatever the state offers.
"Indefinite Leave to Remain" is a privilege granted to non-British people that permits them to be one step below a citizen (they can't vote). Citizens get it all.
* excluding dictatorships, North Korea, and any place you may be exiled from. But those are rare.

British citizens have a right of abode. The right of abode is a status under United Kingdom immigration law that gives an unrestricted right to live in the United Kingdom. It was introduced by the Immigration Act 1971.
See:

Section 2(1) of the Immigration Act 1971 sets out which citizens of the UK and Colonies (CUKCs) and Commonwealth citizens had the right of abode in the UK.
The 1971 Act was amended when the British Nationality Act 1981 came into effect on 1 January 1983. Under the revised section 2(1), the following people have the right of abode in the UK:
Section 2(1)(a) - British citizens
