You need a VPN service with a UK access connection. This is a sort of "tunnel" that your computer connects to, that disguises where you are connecting from and encrypts all of your communications to and from that server. I use one for work (for security reasons) but you can also get a subscription to various public VPN services so that you can (e.g) receive TV available only to residents of another country.
Lifehacker recommend WiTopia or Tunnelbear. Both seem to have UK access points. It slows down your connection a little, but it is still fast enough to stream video!
