As for brokerages, there is a large selection of both full service as well as discount brokerages available online.

The full service online brokerages are able to help you with lots of more services besides trade execution, including manytimes in-house research, advisory services, and more.

Directories with regional sub-categories are great places to find local investment information for the UK region.

These bigger directories include:

For Google, you can find (stock)brokers from at least this category:

This local directory offers lists of UK and Ireland based brokerages at:
