Plenty of threads in here about it all :) Electrum is a digital wallet u can install on ur pc or usb and stores ur BTC. I use this myself. As for buying BTC anonymously u can purchase from LocalBitcoins for cash or cash deposit in a bank. You can do a bank transfer to but not so anonymous. I dont live in the UK, but am sure someone in here can point u in the right direction.
When u do get around to purchasing BTC dont worry about it taking a little time to transfer between ur SR account and Electrum if u decide to use that. Usually an hour or so for the transaction.
