The currency in all four countries in the United Kingdom, namely England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is the British Pound and its symbol is '£'.

With the exception of the Isle of Man which uses the Manx Pound and Pence and the value of this currency is equivalent to the British Pound.

 
100 Pence are the equivalent of 1 Pound.

Coins are available in the denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, £1 & £2.
Paper notes are available as: 5, 10, 20 & 50.

Although not advisable, you may also carry Euros with you as you may find many of the high street shops and super stores will accept them. However, you will always endup paying an extra exchange rate at the high street stores.
