The level of free downloadable data is at the 1:625000 scale. I have it currently uploaded onto ArcView 3.3 and it both pretty as well as informative. As a quick intro into UK geological strata and chronology it is pretty damn good. Like all GIS data it can be manipulated to maximise the degree of detail, but dont imagine it is detailed enough to spot the dormant volcano under your back patio...
The 'free lunch principle' applies and if you want a downloadable verison of the 1:50000 detail, I imagine you still have to purchase it....

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
