The hurricanes from the Caribbean do pass on to the UK via prevailing winds but they die down considerably before reaching there.
I think hurricanes need a minimum sea temperature to exist and the UK is far too cold for them.
Not hurricanes as such - but we do get the 'remnants' of hurricanes in the form of high winds. The weather for the UK predominantly comes to us across the Atlantic Ocean - by way of the gulf stream.
Hurricanes (which need warm, moist air as 'fuel') which hit america eventually lose their strength as they travel across the cold Atlantic. By the time they reach the UK - they are usually no more than gale-force winds. There have been occasions where a dying hurricane has regained its strength on the way to the UK - but this is a rare occurrence.
The most famous incident was in 1987 - when weatherman Michael Fish publicly stated "...earlier today a woman rang the BBC to ask if there was a hurricane on the way. Well don't worry, there isn't..." - A few days later, we got hit by what was labelled a 'severe storm' - not a hurricane.
