UK Satellite map???

With google maps USA you can zoom in really close with a satellite image, but when viewing the UK it only zooms in so far. Does anyone know of a satellite map that can zoom in more for the UK??

The quality of photography varies across the country, for instance if you look at Oxford, the city centre is pretty blurry and you cant zoom in far, but to the east you can see indiviudal people on the pavmement. You could try www.multimap.com, but i suspect their photo database is the same as google use.

http://local.live.com/ tends to have much better pictures of the UK than Google.

I think it will be sometime b4 Google earth makes better quality pictures, whether it be UK or Australia. So i guess we have to be patient.
