Hard for me to choose one, as I admire them all. Julie Walters is hilarious. Kirstin Scott Thomas was top class in The English Patient and Four Weddings and a Funeral. Feel free to ask if you don't recognise.
Dame Helen Mirmen (though i know shes not strictly british) and Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) would be 2 of my choices, but i did vote for Judi Dench, absolute perfection in 'Notes on a Scandal'....

Dame Helen Mirren was born in London. Her father was Russian, her mother English. I thought she was from Northern Ireland, but guess I was wrong.

Wow, tough choice. For me, it has to be Margaret Rutherford though. Never mind her other roles, my favorite has to be her character in the four "Miss Marple" movies.
felixis99: I love everyone on your list and would add Angela Lansbury who had a very long career!
I was going to add her to the list but I wasn't sure if she was American or British. Checked since and she was born in London, went to live in the US as a teenager.
