Awesome! That makes things a lot easier. Standard 20" wheel trikes are recommended for people up to 5' 9", and taller people require 24" wheels. You'll be able to get away with the standard height, which makes it easier to find.
I have to admit to a strong fondness for Pashley (http://www.pashley.co.uk/lists/tricycles.html) - my old trike is an ancient Picador. Their tricycles are ideal for shopping, as you can get a mounted rear basket that's lockable with a padlock. You can pick up second-hand Pashleys fairly easily on eBay for around £100-300, depending on condition.
Mission (http://www.missioncycles.co.uk/AdultTrikes.asp) make trikes that look interesting, but I don't know how good they are mechanically. They're much harder to find second-hand on eBay, though there are often dealers offering new ones for around £400-450.
I won't bother linking you to Roman Road or Longcross as they make custom trikes, starting from £1000 and going in excess of £5000.
The US company Workman (http://worksmancycles.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/adulttrikes.html) has trikes that seem crazily cheap. I have considered importing one, as even after shipping and import duty it could be cheaper than one of the UK-built trikes. (sad, really). Note that you need 2 independent brakes for a tricycle to be road-legal in the UK.
Not sure whether any of these tricycle-friendly shops (http://www.tricycleassociation.org.uk/Abouttricycles.html) are near you, but worth a look.
