Can I leave the UK with a non-UK passport [duplicate]

I am a UK citizen and I also have a Canadian passport. I am in the process of applying for a work visa in the US with my UK passport. I have an upcoming trip in Europe (I am currently in the UK). My question is: Will I be able to leave the UK with my Canadian passport (as I didn't enter the UK with my Canadian passport)? I'm slightly concerned there might not be time between getting back my passport from the US Embassy and my travel.

Thank you.

My kid has a dual citizenship, Austrian and Russian. When we leave Austria for Russia, we show the Russian passport at the norder. When we travel back to Austria, we show the Austrian passport. So in your case you'll probably have no issue at all with leaving the UK with your Canadian passport (depending on where you're going, though), but how are you going to come back later?
