He's not hiding in the UK - he's hiding in Ecuador, with whom we do not have an extradition treaty, apparently. An embassy is the sovereign soil of it's own country. Otherwise, we could just storm the place with overwhelming force and take him. Ecuador lacks the means to effectively stop us.

Note: I am NOT suggesting we do this.
