As others have said, Maplin, Rapid Electronics, Farnell, CPC, but also Cricklewood Electronics: 
http://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com have a good range of harder-to-get stuff, but their web site is 
*dreadful* when trying to find things!

For PICs and such it's worth checking Crownhill http://www.crownhill.co.uk, although I usually order from 
Wouter (http://www.voti.nl/e_index.html) or Glitchbuster (http://www.glitchbuster.com) because although 
they're abroad, they are fast to ship and have a good range of stuff, some of which is hard to find here.
