UKIP won't win in London because London is full of migrants. These migrants are unlikely to vote for their own christmas, so to speak.

UKIP won't win in Scotland, Wales, or NI because these areas already have alternative parties (SNP, Plaid Cymru, DUP).

Anti-EU sentiment has actually been decreasing as UKIP support increases[1]. In 2013 and before, most people wanted to leave the EU, but now it's more of a wash.
