They did, actually, occupy a few tiny islands in the English Channel during the Second World War.
But for a large scale invasion, they would have needed to make it past coastal defenses, and the airman that defended the skies above. That was a daunting task for Hitler, since he needed to dedicate his planes to invasions of other countries.
Long story short? Hitler was just spread too thin, and he couldn't muster enough aircraft for a large scale invasion.
He did, however, carry out many bombings on the city, both with bombers and with V2 Rockets ("Bouncing Bombs").

Which was more important as a reason for Great Britain joining World War I?
The more important reason for Britain joining World War 1 was the Schlieffen Plan, that Germany had written up. The plan involved Germany attacking on two fronts; Russia and France. Almost immediately this would of set sparks off within the Triple Entente; Great Britain, Russia and France. The biggest fault of the plan was that Germany would have to go through Belgium to attack France. In 1839, Britain signed a treaty with France stating that they would help Belgium, who were neutral, if they were ever invaded. With Germany wanting to pass through Belgium, Britain were forced to declare war on Germany, something which the Germans had not expected at all. If Britain had left it, essentially Germany would of invaded both France and Belgium, and then would of been able to invade Britain from the South. Germany could of won World War One if Great Britain didn't attack.

Did Britain's location helped the nation in the war with Germany?
Yes, because Germany could only invade England by sea. If they did this, the RAF could greatly reduce the invasion force with bombers. This fact led to the Battle of Britain, where the Germans tried to destroy the RAF so they could launch Operation Sealion, the invasion of Britain by sea. Operation Sealion was never launched because the RAF succeeded in holding off the Luftwaffe and survived.
