In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
It is permissible for you to live in England. The Prophet S.A.W. and the companions R.A. lived with Muslims and non-Muslims in Madinah and elsewhere. (1)
After Dimad, Abu Dhar, Tufail R.A. and a number of other Sahabah accepted Islam, the Prophet S.A.W. sent them back to their tribes so they can live amongst them, and also call them toward Islam. (2)
Only Allah knows best.
