How to enter UK share market?

Hi, I am in UK, I hardly know anything about share market & how it works, I want to maintain a good portfolio, I have an initail investment of 1000pounds, I am looking for a good return on investment, plz help me on
how to purchase and sell shares? What are the bank accounts I should maintain? What books I should read inorder to understand share market better? what is the basic criteria to purchase a share?

The web site below has a lot of info. You should realise that it is possible to loose your money, as well as make a decent profit. For starters, I suggest you open a Unit Trust, or an Investment Trust ISA. You can add to your initial investment,( up to 拢7,000) until the end of the tax year.

Would you back a horse if you didn't know anything about equine creatures?
拢1000 is too small to even think about investing unless you put it into unit trusts.
Try F&C European.
