The earth's crust is split into pieces called tectonic plates: Earthquakes occur most often at the boundaries between these tectonic plates, and less frequently in the middle of them. If you want to know more about why this is the case I'd suggest reading up on tectonic boundaries and the interactions between adjacent plates.
In terms of places where earthquakes are infrequent, the UK is a good example because it sits nicely on the Eurasian plate a good distance from the edges.
