I don't think it's gone quite totally. I hear lots of references to the acre in various BBC shows such as My Family and some of the earlier ones.
If I recall correctly, there is still some confusion as to whether or not the UK uses square foot or square meter for things like office space. At least most other references on the shows are in SI though. I remember one episode of My Family where the husband was mad because the neighbors had taken ten centimeters of his property and built a fence.

I noticed in this BBC News science article that only the hectare is used for area. It looks like non-SI units for area are either a vanishing breed or gone altogether: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6909249.stm Perhaps UK readers can confirm. Ezra
