Oh dear! This one seems to go on and on and folks just cannot understand what HD and others are saying.
The question "is it illegal to listen too ATC in the UK on a scanner" has been asked. The answer is YES. References have been given (look back in this thread).

"Your definitive answer is here:

However, friends at Ofcom inform me that there is no actual 'enforcement' of this. They do not have the manpower to go around and stop you. Therefore the regulation will be applied on a complaints basis.
So provided that 'no one knows what you listened to because you told no one what you overheard' then you are probably in the clear.........."
