Like /u/Disciplined_20-04-15 said, buying into Vanguard ETFs are an excellent idea, the fees are incredibly low and have averaged a 9-10% return in the last decade. Buy into a handful of funds around the world and you've already got a pretty diversified portfolio.

Also BullionVault is an a great place to put your money into precious metals: gold, silver and platinum. Outside of an ISA you can still make upto £11k tax-free (way more than you'd earn in a single year).

Diversify your wealth with a 60-20-20 strategy (or something similar):

  • 60% monthly savings into Vanguard ETFs
  • 20% into gold
  • 20% into cash (a Santander regular saver cash account gives you 5% interest)

    Even in a financial crash you'll ride it out better than most people.

    How to Own the World – Andrew Craig (free ebook with an Amazon Prime account) is a great introduction to the world of finance and outlines the 60-20-20 strategy above.

    The Gone Fishin' Portfolio – Alexander Green is what Own the World is based on but Craig's book is much broader and specific to the UK.
