If you want a "one stop shop" I'd zoom in using:
http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/
and select the tiles that you want.

If you're happy to create your own using "mkgmap", england.osm.pbf 
<http://download.geofabrik.de/openstreetmap/europe/great_britain/england.osm.pbf> 
is only 374Mb here:
http://download.geofabrik.de/openstreetmap/europe/great_britain/

The routable gmapsupp.img that I create for Great Britain using mkgmap 
is only 443Mb, so England should fit on your SD card.

Cheers,
Andy
