Yes, that’s true Swedish kids can be indeed quite blonde (Nordic blondness). As with any Northern European population, children start out blonde or just light-haired and progressively usually darken in adulthood. The very same happens with British people.
Dark hair and dark eyes are found in every single European population under the sun, the British should not be exempt from that. One of the main differences, is that the British have more of the dark hair than Scandinavians, Estonians and Latvians. However in eye color, they are comparable especially the Scottish. In terms of skin tone, the British are paler than other Northern Europeans and they tan less as well.
