i imagine container gardening in the UK is quite a bit different in terms of plant selection, but general principles are probably similar.
also fyi I'll add this before I write a big thing about it, my mom is *obsessed* with growing miniature conifers in containers right now. which seems like something that might work in the UK? (based entirely off the fact that conifers grow well in Seattle, and British flowers grow well in Seattle. I could be wrong about the conifer thing in the UK, and I don't know about availability.)
(just, uh, also check what people mean when they say "miniature" because a miniature version of a 100 foot tree might grow to be 25 feet and that is not actually good for a small container. here is one example with pretty good documentation.)
