No he cannot;

 

You can only glean a basic location based on IP address; which would be the location of your ISP's server-bank anyway. You cannot trace an address back any further than this.

 

Only your ISP knows who had a certain IP address assigned at a particular time; they will not give that information out as it would be highly illegal to do so under the Data Protection Act. Only the police can get such information when investigating a crime etc. Even with the R.I.P. Act in place; they still need a warrant to get the subscriber records associated with an IP address.
