If you are targeting specific region, then you have to submit your site to UK directories for instance. The more UK websites you are linked with, the higher possibilities that you get higher rankings in google.co.uk.

Great tips for targeting the UK Google traffic world. As a matter of fact, when you decide having rankings for your website locally rather than on the main Google.com portal, you should shift your attention to all the elements playing roles. The IP addresses of the incoming links can be amazingly important since Google will realize your domain name has already gained the attention of some local other websites.

I agree, you have to add your site in more UK directories. Also find some UK forums and blogs and create links by posting threads and comments. This would be helpful.
