Why didn't the RAF that is the British Air Force attack the Germans as they were coming in to attack London during the Blitz night?

If possible they did so. However, the distance from the coast to central London is only about 55-80 miles (depending on the exact direction). This leaves very little time to take off, climb to the necessary height and locate the enemy, etc. London is notoriously exposed to air attack. Incidentally, the question seems to assume that there was only one blitz night. This was not the case. The first major attack on London was on 7 September 1940 (300 bombers protected by 600 German fighters). The Luftwaffe returned every night for the next 75 nights, except for one when the weather was extremely bad. If one allows for the difficulties, I think the RAF made a good job of defending Britain.
