No sensible answers yet! I suggest you firstly look at a financial web site, like the Daily Mail's one (below), to get an insight into your options, then consult an IFA (independent financial adviser). With that amout of money, it is worth getting professional advice.

There's not really a definitive answer to this I guess as to what is truly best, and also depends on whether you want to take a huge gamble, or play it safe.

My suggestion is to perhaps split it 4 ways (£125 each) into:

1)A high-interest savings account, such as the HALIFAX Websaver
http://www.halifax.co.uk/savings/variablewebsaver.asp
£125 x 12months = £1500 + at least £40 in interest (5% with cash card, 5.25% without at the moment)
http://www.fool.co.uk/savings/savings-calculator.aspx

2) A share dealing account with low commission fees, in particular the HALIFAX Sharebuilder:
http://www.halifax.co.uk/sharedealing/sharebuilder.asp
But before jumping into buying shares, you should first read up on doing it here:
http://www.fool.co.uk/school/2006/sch060130.htm
Research the shares here:
http://quote.fool.co.uk
And practise trading shares here:
http://www.bullbearings.co.uk

3) Premium bonds
http://www.nsandi.com/products/pb/index.jsp

4) Lend it out at ZOPA, the online money lending & borrowing exchange (created by the same person who created the EGG finance brand): http://www.zopa.com/ZopaWeb/affiliate/?referral=duck1979
These are the articles where I first learned about it:
http://www.fool.co.uk/news/comment/2006/c060406d.htm
http://www.fool.co.uk/news/your-money/loans/2005/09/16/how-to-borrow-cheaply-become-a-bank.aspx

Then maybe split it 3-ways (£166.66) once you've built-up your maximum £30,000 Premium bond holding.

Lending at a 4% interest/month to people who are trust worthy but do not have any credit line due to some unavoidable not of their own making circumstances...Safe way of doing it...get the number and talk to them over the phone and deposit it in their account and not cash on hand...when you deposit make sure you put some notes that it is a loan amount to the receiver

With the rate of the pound against the dollar, it might be wise to invest in US stock market (NASDAQ, Dow Jones).

Yorkshire Building Society have a Regular Savings Account. You can invest up to £500 a month, if you plan to invest that amount every month for one year interest rates are 7%, only one partial withdrawl a year can be made to earn this rate. If conditions are not met the rate is 3.5%.

ISA if you havent done so already.

If you have, stick it in a Bond. £500 per month is more than enough.

Mr. Main Event
Invest in ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). You should definitely do some research on them before jumping in.


adidasallstar
At the moment, it seems that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are really hot right now. Why? As most people have been saying, they're basically mutual funds that are traded like stocks. An ETF consists of many different companies, thus helping to diversify and combine many companies without having to pay an individual share price for each company. An example of an ETF is iShares MSCI South Korea Index (stock ticker: EWY), which has done very well since its inception date. EWY opened at under $20, but is currently $65.43. This, of course, isn't the only ETF (as there are many), but it shows the competitiveness of ETFs compared to other types of investments, such as mutual funds, or even stocks.
