Thank you very much to everyone that responded.  I received so many
wonderful responses regarding England and Ireland that I am posting
summaries separately, although some information applies to both.  I
apologize that I did not have the opportunity to thank people for their
great insight individually but there were so many responses, and still some
that I am receiving.

It was recommended that I contact  www.coeliac.co.uk

Several supermarkets were mentioned as having a great selection of gluten
free items (look for the section in the store called 'free from'):

Tesco's
Sainsburys - gluten-free labeling including frozen ready dishes.
 http://www.sainsburys.co.uk;
http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/food/specialdiets/default.htm?WT.svl=1&WT.seg_1=nav_primary
Marks and Spencer - allergy boxes
Holland & Barrett - stocks plenty of GF food including breads, cookies and
pasta.
Asda (Wal-Mart)
Morrisons


Restaurants:
It was suggested that awareness of celiac is very high that I should not
have a problem eating out if I call ahead expecially at the more expensive
restaurants.  In particular Indian restaurants were recommended.
Some restaurant chains label food or have lists of gluten-free items these
include:
La Tasca (tapas).
Ghillies on the River
De mario (Covent Garden)
Cafe Fish London Restaurant
Pret a Manger - list of GF items
http://www.wheat-free.org/wheat_gluten_free_eating_out.html - has restaurant

Article in the *Alamo Celiac* newsletter September 2005.  Be sure to see the
last paragraph on page 3 for Web site addresses for United Kingdom grocery
store chains that carry GF items.  at
