Physics in general is fine too, but Astrophysics as a more defined choice.|||Cambridge really is the best for physics and maths by most people's standards.
Oxford and Imperial also down south are very good.
Durham up in North England is generally close to Oxbridge for most things and I do believe this goes for physics too.
Physics is one of Glasgow's main strengths. It's connected with a couple of Physics greats like Watt and Kelvin. Although the university tends not to do amazingly in the league tables (well-known they're a load of tripe) Glasgow has a very strong physics history.
St. Andrews is probably the best university in Scotland, although I don't think it really has any strong connection with physics in particular. I imagine it's good though.

Note about the courses:
At Glasgow you study three subjects in first year. These can be any science subjects, but might include for you "Astronomy," "Theoretical Physics" and/or "Physics with Astrophysics"
At Cambridge you also study three natural science subjects, but only one of these can include physics. You will not be able to specialise in just physics until second year and astrophysics in third year.
At St Andrews it's different. You pick six modules. For you, two of these will be physics, one will be mathematics, and one will be astrophysics. You will then be able to chose two more.
Afraid I can't tell you about Oxford, Imperial or Durham, haven't researched them.|||I went to Hatfield Polytechnic (now University of Hertfordshire) where combined subject courses were offered, including Astronomy. Hatfield is good, and they may offer Astrophysics.
As far as I know, Southampton University, and Portsmouth University offer Astrophysics.
