People do keep on about the success in New Zealand especially (the Asian countries are a bit different as the public behaviour to government is different). But geographically New Zealand is in a fortunate position. They don't have boat loads of people trying to get in across a small body of water any one of whom could bring in the virus past a border lockdown.
They also have a much smaller population (half population of Greater London - 2012) than us and is a bit bigger in land area. Makes it easier to lockdown hard for a short period and clear out the virus and keep it out.
