The Natural History Museum has a really useful site called the Plant Postcode Database.
All you need to do is put in the first part of a postcode to get a list of native plants growing in that area. They're listed in groups according to plant type. The ones they think worth growing in a garden are labelled GW = Garden Worthy.
All the plants are linked to a description, the "garden worthy" ones have pictures and growing conditions - it's a heck of a timewaster.
Try it and see. This, for example, gives a list of native plants for the Aberdeen area, which might be useful for Leg-Iron who's just started waking up his garden after a long, cold winter.
