Is there anywhere that has not been at war with Britain?

Nope!
There is nowhere that the British did not touch with war. As a last ditch attempt, I thought perhaps Antarctica would have been spared - as there are no people to fight! But no, the Nazis were there too, and the British bombed them.
Greenland? Nope, part of Denmark. Madagascar? Nope, WWII Campaign. Islands in the Pacific? Nope, colonies everywhere. Central Asia? Nope, part of Russia. Africa? Nope, all colonized by various European powers. I though maybe because Ethiopia wasn't initially colonized, but Nope, that was part of Italy, which the British fought during WWII.
That just leaves the moon and other extra-terrestrial areas.
