With the drop in the value of the pound against the dollar and the euro, how your investment could look for someone in the UK could be very different from someone in the United States or European Union who had bought bitcoin at the right time. There is generally not a huge difference between the bitcoin price around the world but occasionally in markets with limited supply the cost can spike. Or with a fear of bitcoin becoming more regulated in a region you can see an increase in sellers. In the UK there has not been any significant government interventions that have caused a sharp reaction within the UK bitcoin market. The UK market though small is interlinked with the rest of world the market, with any opportunities in price difference being taken advantage of with a process called arbitrage.

The bitcoin pricing widget can give you some idea of how much you would have had to invest and when to make a big difference, it could have been more than you thought.
