Default UK Google Rankings

Hello,

I am new to SEO for the UK market. I have been optimizing for google.com USA market for a few years.

I have a new site that is targeted at the UK market. I have done the following:

1) registered a .co.uk domain name
2) hosted on a UK server, with a dedicated UK ip address
3) posted a UK mailing address on Contact Us page
4) included the keywords "UK" , "Britain", etc. on the site (in proper context of course)
5) Listed prices in GBP, with the GBP symbol

My next question is, what efforts should I undertake to place on Google UK results , in top positions? My assumptions are as follows. Please correct me if I'm wrong, and let me know what else you can suggest thanks

1) Obtain one-way links from UK-based directory sites, with UK IP's (can someone please list them )
2) Obtain one-way links from UK based sites with relevant content

Is it worthwhile to also get one-way links from non-UK based sites (eg. sites with a USA, Canadian, India, etc. IP address)? Or will that not help our UK based rankings at all?

Anything else you can recommend would be much appreciated, thanks a lot for your help

Rob
