Card acceptance is very high in the UK now, and fees for paying by credit or debit card have been illegal for a few years.
Banks in the UK wanted to get rid of cheques because they're expensive to process, so the alternatives have really improved.

Many recurring payments can't be paid with credit cards (loans in particular, since they don't want you paying credit with credit). And many places, but government and municipal services in particular, charge extra fees for credit card use (I understand why, because it costs them more to accept a credit card, but I'm not interested in paying more so I give them a check to save money).
