It is not just in the UK that prices are rising (Canon, Nikon, Sigma...). Due to the strength of the yen against just about all major currencies (inc the Dollar) there are price hikes throughout the world.
In mainland Europe prices have gone up around 25-30%. I was reading a thread yesterday where someone from Croatia and Poland were moaning about it as well the guys in the states. A guy from Paris reckons that the UK is a lot cheaper than France - so much so that he has bought a couple of lenses from here recently.
