Okay, let's call that $1000 in real money (it's more than that, really, but things in England are pricier).
If I had that much cash to spend and didn't have any lenses, I'd go for the 50/1.4 ($350), the 28/1.8 ($400) and the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS ($200). That'll give you a fast normal (the 28), a faster medium-tele (the 50), and a sharp, stabilized zoom for your normal walking around lens.
Another option would be the same 18-55 IS but with the 50/1.8 ($75), the 35/2.0 ($200), and a telephoto of some sort. The 55-250 IS is only $280, though it's EF-S so you can't use it on film or full-frame digital (if that's important to you). There's also the various incarnations of the 70-300. The 70-300 IS is around $550 which would still probably be in your budget with those other lenses assuming the UK doesn't get raped *too* hard on prices.
