I don’t think there’s a very strong relationship there. While inland areas do tend to be more conversative, I think that’s just generally due to the rural/urban divide. Cities historically have been located on the coasts for shipping purposes. And that also divides by education level, which is also related to political tendencies. And cities have historically been located on the coasts for convenience of shipping. Even inland cities are usually on major rivers.
But there are plenty of racists there too. London has been a huge melting pot of different races for a long time, but there are still plenty of racists in England.
In England, as in the US, the level of racism in an area inversely correlates with the percentage of the population who are immigrants. The white riots that recently happened in lily-white Northern Ireland are a recent illustrative example.
In London, there are a lot of racists, but not proportionally so. There also happen to be a lot of all kinds of people there. It’s a big city.
