Seriously Adam, if I was you, I would think about joining the Forces; at least consider sponsorship by them through Uni and go somewhere with an University Air Squadron (if they still do those schemes).
If you have the aptitude for flying, you'll get some of the best training available; if you're middle of the road, you'll still get some experience for the civilian world and if you don't have it, well, sadly, you don't have it!
However, you should only consider joining up if you have the commitment; don't do it if your only intention is to learn to fly but you should consider it.
Cheers
