As wiretap evidence is inadmissable in British courts, it is not as regulated as searches of private premises, for example, which do require a warrant.
It is arguably still a tremendous invasion of privacy, and one lacking in judicial oversight, but there is no concept of a general right to privacy in British law - something which I'm sure is much appreciated by sleazy tabloid journalists with telephoto lenses.
