The UK has become very strict about NOT stamping the passports of travelers with Advance Entry Clearances nowadays. I have been succesful getting my passport stamped only 1 out of 8 trips to London in the past year, despite multiple conversations with immigration supervisors.

I would much rather people stamped on a clean page than throw stamps one on top of the other like European airports often do. I have a few pages in my passport that are
almost totally indecipherable now.
