The conditions allowed it. The Roman's with their central government and power had long gone. They were replaced by the indiginous Britons who were highly decentralised. Angles and Saxons had been trading with Briton and in some parts were invited to settle. The Britons were seen as an easy target.

Who did the Anglo-Saxons replace?
The Angles and Saxons were employed by the Romano-British rulers to protect their lands from raids by Picts, Scots and Irish after the Romans withdrew from the British Isles. Later, they realised there was a profit in taking over from their employers and bringing some of their families to live in, what was to become, England. This is the crucial point, they took over from the rulers. There were no mass killings of the population who, wishing to fit in with their new masters, adopted their ways of living. To make a point, they only replaced the Romano-British rulers, call them Celtic if you wish. To justify this point it has been proved by genetic sampling of present day British people that, on average, only 5% of their genes came from the Angles and Saxons.
