Hiya chezr90. I am not actually FROM England, but have been living here for going on five years.
I am sure you will find that this site will work for you as long as you can stay focused and motivated. This is always the hard part when exercising alone. You should consider either convincing one of your friends that they want to be your work out buddy, or post on here to see if anyone is in your area and willing to be your exercise partner.
