As far as UK style guides go, what you're probably looking for is the [Oxford Guide to Style](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0198605641), formerly known as [Hart's Rules](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart%27s_Rules) (that link also contains a useful section outlining what the nearest US equivalents are). The University of Oxford website also provides an [on-line style document](http://www.ox.ac.uk/branding_toolkit/writing_and_style_guide/index.html), but it's nowhere near as comprehensive as the book.

There are other UK style guides as well:

- [The Guardian style guide](http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide) (also done according to an index)
- [Copy-Editing:The Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Authors and Publishers](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0521400740)
- [The Times Style and Usage Guide](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/tools_and_services/specials/style_guide/)
- [The Telegraph Style Guide](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/about-us/style-book/1435295/Telegraph-style-book-introduction.html)
- [The Modern Humanities Research Association Style Guide](http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide/download.shtml) (mainly for writing theses).
