Is Visa stamping must for Brit Citizen with H1B petition

Hello there,

I have a basic question -

Do British Citizens need to go to US consulate in London for H1B visa stamping before entering to US? Instead can they just travel to US on visa waiver program and after landing start to work using their H1B petition?
