In UK law, they're your photos so you can do as you please. There is nothing in UK law that prevents taking photographs (even of people) in a public place (provided the subject is also in a public place - you cant stand in the street and use a zoom lens to take pictures of people in their homes ). You can use those photos for anything you like.

This should give you a little more info http://www.sirimo.co.uk/ukpr.php
