Don't get caught up in all the best of and this or that formula. Proraso or Cella will beat them all.

Proraso and Cella are about as cheap as they come and should be readily available in the UK online or perhaps even locally at a specialty barber shop type store.
If you want to buy British you can pick up an Edwin Jagger from connaught shaving. Or Executive Shaving. Executive Shaving also produce their own razors.
For a British shaving cream and brush - check out Body Shop. Pretty decent.

Welcome aboard!
I agree that the Edwin Jagger 89 series (pick an appealing handle) is a good place to start. Since you are going British, you should also check out Simpson’s brushes to see if one appeals. I would also pick up a blade sampler pack or two. That’s it for hardware.
In terms of software, you can go with canned goo or you might pick up an appealing British cream (tons of options) or a soap (perhaps something like the excellent La Toja stick I used this AM).
Then off to the races!!

Welcome back to the madhouse Jim. 
La Barbiera have the new Super Formula Proraso soaps and creams, and Cella, etc. All their prices include free UK shipping. (I don't have any connection to them apart from being a customer.)

Welcome! Just want to welcome you & echo what others have said about Edwin Jagger, Connaught, & Executive. Enjoy!
Welcome back. Thanks for checking back in with us.
I agree with the Edwin Jagger recommendation. They make very fine razors.
You might have a look around Connaught Shaving, they're in the UK.
A very nice shave cream is Cyril R Salter, which is made in England and carried by Connaught, but you'll need a brush with it.
