The easiest and most effective self defense gun you're going to be able to acquire legally in the UK is a 12 gauge shotgun. There are several hobby sports that allow you to get a permit to acquire such a gun and from what I understand there's minimal oversight about to what degree you actually participate in those sports.
Yes, there's no obligation to participate. You do need to store it legally though, so you can't just ride around with a shotgun to hand. The UK is so paranoid about armed citizens that there was a story a few months ago about a woman buying a spoon at Tesco and having to present ID. Perhaps more knowledgeable UK folk could contribute?
The other big point is hygiene. Toilet paper, toothpaste and soap will all become valuable commodities. If you've ever had to wipe your ass with a handful of leaves or go a day without brushing your teeth you'll know what I mean. Times that by weeks if not months and you'll see why hygiene is not to be ignored.
