There is no official copyright registration system in the UK. Copyright protection, just as in the US, is automatic. All you need is a work of sufficient originality fixed in a tangible medium.

If you do have questions there is an Intellectual Property Office in the UK (see link below) and hey do have an extensive section on copyright.
