How to install Babel English?

First make sure it isn't already installed — I thought it was part of the ‘basic’ installation. If you cannot have administrator privileges to install with the Package Manager, you can download from a repositoy babel-english.tar.lzma. Unzip it (twice) to get a texmf folder. You just have to copy the contents of this folder at the root of the MiKTeX distribution — the default being C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\ if you have the 64 bit version. For the 32 bit version, replace Program Files with Program Files (x86).

It only remains to refresh the FNDB (via MiKTeX Options). Note that in case of an update to babel-english, you will have to redo these steps, as MiKTeX won't consider the package as ‘installed’.

      @Chistian Hupfer: The .ldf files are no more in ‘generic’ babel, but in babel-english for the english language.
