According from Play-Asia, the Xbox 360 is available in three region versions:
* NTSC-U (/C) - United States, Canada.
* NTSC-J - Japan, Korea, Asia ( China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri-Lanka, India etc. )
* PAL - Europe & Australia
Why is the Xbox 360 region protected and the Playstation 3 is region free?
Cause Microsoft wants to prevent its piracy things.
So, UK doesnt have NTSC-J Xbox 360 systems but PAL ones, unless you bought one (Xbox 360 NTSC-J) via internet or something;).
A year ago, i also bought some Xbox 360 games from UK (www.amazon.co.uk , cause they got some games which are available in diffrent editions) and all the games were PAL (regions).
So i got also a PAL Xbox 360 and soon also a NTSC-J Xbox 360:).
And some games are or could be region free. Check the website of Play-Asia via this link for region protected games, region free games, in-game languages and more beneath.

NOTE:
When i bought the Xbox 360 (NTSC-J) from Play-Asia, i saw the features and of them was, "This is the Asian version console. Only suitable to play Japanese/Asian NTSC-J encoded or Region Free Games"
Play-Asia is saying in the "Xbox 360 Regional Compatibillity Guide" that there are two NTSC-J versions for Asia like, "Japanese Version" and the "Asian Version". But actually, they arent diffrent. Cause it WILL STAY, the NTSC-J region code. So theres nothing special or worry to about;).
