Norme,

The first commercial computer actually built in the UK was the LEO.

Interestingly, it was built by a bakery not one of the Electrical Engineering giants of the day..

LEO was the acronym for Lyons Electronic Office. Lyons later sold the rights to English Electric which was the UK subsidiary of Siemens that was seized in WWI and renamed English Electric.
