The UK guidance immigration and citizenship: privacy information notice explains:
Personal information supplied or collected for the purposes of entering or leaving the UK, securing the border, making an application for a visa, leave, settlement, citizenship or other immigration service, claiming asylum or other form of protection, or gathered as part of the process of securing the border or enforcing immigration laws will be held and processed by The Home Office[.] This includes when the information is collected or processed by third parties on our behalf.
[E]xit checks will take place at all airports and ports in the UK. Information that is included in passports or travel documents will be collected for passengers leaving the country on scheduled commercial international air, sea and rail routes.

Entries and exits by air are recorded through Advance Passenger Information (API) in the Home Office's Semaphore record.
Entries by land/sea, however, are not recorded - the officers only retrieve the data from your ID to match against relevant databases etc.
As for exits by land/sea, I'm not sure, but when exiting by train recently there was a Eurostar employee before French border control that swiped documents through a portable scanner in order to transmit data, so I guess those exits are recorded.
As for what is recorded; my records include the airport of entry/exit, flight numbers, booking numbers, time of flight arrival/departure and even the foreign airport I flew from or to
