I'm in the UK; I would most always format a number so that the last 6 digits are in two groups of 3. This generally means reading a 4 or 5 digit area code first, then "321 <pause> 456". The wikipedia article posted by someone else tends to confirm the "4 or 5 digit area code first" for me, as it states UK numbers to be 10 or 11 digits long. Note, however, that I would most always use "0207" or "0208 xxx yyy" for London numbers - I personally would not use "020", or group the "7" or "8" with the next set of digits. This is probably because I remember when they changed London numbers from "01" to "020" and then subsequently added the "7" & "8" depending upon whether the destination was in inner- or outer-London respectively.
