It should be written after the payee name to prevent the cheque being cashed in by someone else. Most UK bank cheque already have this printed at the end of the line, so all you need to do is ensure you've crossed out any remaining space.

People often write 'only' after the amount to pay, this is not necessary as long as you've included the amount in both pounds and pence eg. "Ten pounds and zero pence" and have crossed through any remaining space.
