No, adultery is not a crime in the UK.
However, if an adulterer was to claim otherwise under oath in court proceedings, they would commit the criminal offence of perjury (telling lies in court). Such perjury has been the subject of several high-profile criminal cases in the UK.
Bigamy (marrying again without first being divorced) is still a crime in itself.
