From a UK bank account you can use a free Faster Payment transfter into CurrencyFair.com.  You need to have a verified account in CurrencyFair - similar to the Gox verification system but much faster.

Once you have funds in CurrencyFair, you can trade for Euros then SEPA transfer from there into Bitstamp for a €3.

Bitstamp offer free BCT withdrawals so you can move money from there to other exchanges.
