The UK lies on the Eurasian plate far away from any plate boundaries. The closest boundary is probably the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which runs through Iceland (the country, not the frozen foods supermarket if you're worried.) The UK therefore experiences no volcanism and very little seismicity (earthquakes) due to its distance from any plate boundaries. Last earthquake experienced of any magnitude in the UK was in February 2018 The centre of which was in Wales
