<p>Lloyd's answer using blockchain sounds like the best if you haven't already bought the UKash vouchers.</p>

<p>If you do have the UKash, then an alternative is to deposit UKash at VirWoX, then convert to SLL, then to BTC. I just tried it. It was quick and easy, but I worked out that I ended up paying ~£5 in transaction fees on an original UKash value of £20, so its not very efficient.  </p>

<p>There are also restrictions on VirWoX that you can only convert whole GBPs and you must buy a minimum of 0.2 BTC. There is a 15% deposit fee on UKash, which with £10 vouchers leaves you with £8.50 - 50p of which cannot be used because of the whole GBP restriction. Depending on the exchange rate the £8 might not be tradable if it is worth less than 0.2 BTC. (You may have guessed that I experimented with a £10 UKash voucher then had to go and buy another one).</p>

<p>It is getting ridiculously hard to get bitcoins in the U.K. International wires are to expensive, my bank doesn't support SEPA. I'm seriously thinking about converting ukash vouchers to cash u account, funding okpay with that. Then using that option at mtgox. There must be easier way.</p>
