Just checked prices. You may have to pay more than £50. An 82mm Nikon L37C is about £100. What filter size is your 100-400L? 77mm?
Later edit again: Yup, you'll definitely have to pay more than £50 for a good filter. About £75-£100 seems quite typical for B+W or Nikon, though the Nikon doesn't seem to be widely available in 77mm.
I see you can get specific clear glass protection filters now, rather than the UV filters traditionally used for this job. At these prices you'll end up buying a protective filter to protect your filter.
I don't use them, but then I don't own lenses in the kind of price bracket you do. Think of it as an insurance premium.
