Hi,
I'm also in the UK.
You have 2 options:
1. Go to your nearest casualty and tell them you are acutely suicidal and will kill yourself if someone doesn't help you immediately. I did this once. They put me on an inpatient psychiatric ward.
2. Take 30 paracetemol, get in the car and drive straight to casualty, and tell them what you've done and why (i.e. you don't want to live anymore). They will pump your stomach and admit you for psychiatric help. I've done this too.
I prefer option 1.
They are the only ways of getting urgent psychiatric treatment on the NHS, more's the pity.
Please get help and get it now.
Thinking of you!
Best, Caroline
