There is an all-UK 1:500k QCT map going around on P2P, apparently done by scanning, but it is 2010.
True, but it will show your position accurately even if the chart is out of date and if all you have is an android smartphone, it will still give you useful information. You will of course be carrying an up-to-date paper copy of the appropriate chart and that will be your point of reference for airspace boundaries, etc.
I'd worry about positional errors if using a scanned chart, though.
