This isn't a technical explanation, but it has to do with the fact that the UK is coastal. The ocean currents, which hit the UK from the west are warmer and keep it cooler there than the middle of the continent in North America. This also explains why Washington state is much less cold in the winter than Minnesota, at similar latitudes.
