Buy UK SOCKS5 proxies, London and Manchester IPs
Socks5Proxy provides UK IPs (London, Manchester) as SOCKS5/HTTP proxies sold monthly per IP. Select UK datacenter IPs or static residential ISP IPs from British internet providers.
What are the main tasks that require UK proxies?
The UK has one of the highest online shopping shares in Europe, leading to significant demand for price monitoring and seller data collection. Sites like Amazon UK, Tesco, and Argos display prices in GBP and UK shipping conditions, so accessing them with a UK IP ensures you see the same information as local consumers.
Tracking UK Google search result rankings, collecting UK news and financial information, verifying ads shown to UK users, and testing the sign-up flow for UK regional services are common tasks.
How to choose between London and Manchester IPs?
London hosts major European internet exchanges, offering low latency across the UK, Europe, and the US East Coast. Most UK sites respond from London-adjacent servers, making its IPs ideal for general tasks.
Manchester IP is useful for viewing results specific to northern England or distributing requests alongside London IP. Regional search results vary slightly by city, so using both cities together provides a more accurate view of the UK overall.

When is it best to choose UK ISP proxies?
UK ISP proxies use fixed IPs registered with UK home internet providers, making them appear as regular UK home connections to websites. They're ideal for tasks like managing shopping mall seller centers, social accounts, and ad management screens, where consistent access from the same location is natural.
Private ISP proxies are shared by max 2 users, dedicated by just one. Fixed IPs reduce security checks. Starting at $0.5850/IP/month (private) and $1.51 (dedicated).
What is the best time to collect data in the UK?
The UK uses GMT, switching to BST from late March to late October. Since UK stores often implement discounts/price changes in local mornings, collecting once at UK morning and evening captures daily fluctuations.
Combine shared datacenter proxies for large-scale scraping with ISP IPs for critical verification tasks to balance cost and accuracy.
How to connect UK proxies to Python or browsers
Download UK IP lists in your preferred format from the My Proxies dashboard. For Python requests, use socks5:// or http:// addresses directly in proxies values. The same addresses work with browser automation tools like Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright.
Setting the browser language to en-GB and the time zone to Europe/London helps sites recognize you as a UK visitor. When rotating multiple IPs, simply using the next line in the list for each request is sufficient.
Can I use UK IPs alongside other European IPs?
Yes, one account can combine plans for multiple countries (UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, etc.). For pan-European price comparisons requiring country-specific views, smaller country-specific plans ensure accuracy.
Shared datacenter mixed-country pools further reduce costs for region-agnostic bulk tasks.
