From experience I know that most UK based users are redirected to Google.co.uk by default, but I also know of other UK based users who have been using Google.com.

Finally my question in the Google Support Forums has lead to an answer supplied by Hitwise.

And the answer is:

Google.co.uk 73.74%
Google.com 13.77%
uk.search.yahoo.com 2.94%
www.uk.ask.com 2.80%
live.com 2.20%
search.msn.co.uk 1.21%
search.yahoo.com 1.13%
search.orange.co.uk 1.05%
search.msn.co.uk 0.31%
www.ask.com 0.16%
