How can I enable British English with Oxford spelling in Google Chrome?
Although Google products offer a British English language option, they don't support Oxford spelling (-ize suffixes, among other things). In fact, it's fairly uncommon for any software to offer Oxford spelling.
How can I enable it in Google Chrome?

This is a different question. That question was closed because apparently Android is off topic (despite there being multiple Android related tags), this relates specifically to Google Chrome (which also has a tag, FWIW). There are many other questions here about Chrome.

There is a large list of words at English (British) spellings not recognized by the spell checker - Google Product Forums that you can add to the spelling dictionary ...

There is not a way to "enable" an additional dictionary with these words or bulk add words in Chrome (or just about any modern browser). You can, however, manually add words to the dictionary.
Method 1: Adding words manually in Settings
In Google Chrome open Settings > Advanced, and scroll down to and expand Language.
Under Spell Check click Custom Spelling and you can paste words in, one at a time.
Method 2: Adding words manually in a text box
Go to a website that contains a text box you can type in.
Find a list of words you wish to add, copy these, and paste them into the text box.
Right-click on each word in turn and choose to add it to the dictionary.
