England does get tornadoes, however, the vast majority are weak and are unlikely to be reported beyond local news. The last significant tornado in England was an F2 that hit Birmingham in 2005.

England is not prone to the violent tornadoes you often hear about in the United States because it has a rather cool climate. The storms that produce strong tornadoes generally need a supply of hot, humid air among other conditions.

It does, however the tornadoes in England are weak and so rarely make headlines.
