UK VPN.

Not to expensive.
Why does it need to be a UK VPN? What will you be using it for as some impose limits on usage?
It all depends what you’re looking to do with it. For simple anonymous browsing, some providers offer this for as little as $5/month, or even for free. But if you want a total Internet traffic anonymizing experience, a premium VPN account is a better way to go - there’s no IP numbers to configure into the webapps, and no software to install - just set up the VPN and it’s done! Other VPN selling points include:
• Strong Encryption — Some VPN service providers offer SSL/TLS and IPsec (cryptographic protocols) for an added layer of security. OpenVPN is also very secure and is an option to thwart ISPs that block regular PPTP VPNs. PPTP can leak DNS data, and isn’t really all that secure, but is often a suitable workaround for ’sandvining’ or throttling ISPs.
• Shared IP vs. Dedicated — A shared IP means that you will get a random IP from ’server IP pools’ each time you connect to the VPN. Dedicated means your VPN’s IP address remains the same, even when disconnecting from the service. The latter would be recommended if you intend on using a VPN with a private BT tracker. • Server location — Many VPN providers offer a choice of server locations. For most P2P & BitTorrent users, the location isn’t terribly important (with the exception that if a tracker bans your country’s IP range, and you’d like to join that tracker anyways, a VPN can help). But the VPN location is more importantly used for personal website browsing & accessing geographical blocks; for example, you reside in the UK but want to visit sites such as hulu.com which blocks all IP ranges outside of the United States. A US VPN server will thus allow access.
• Terms of Service — Some VPN providers may (or may not) mention "illegal" activities being banned on their servers, such as P2P file sharing of intellectual property.
There’s also a list of VPN providers with their pro’s/con’s below the article.
