Not sure how accurately you want the read-out, but using the following:- http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ and setting to 'pressure' will allow you to hover over the stations and see the value to the nearest whole mbar. They don't seem to plot Coventry on this map (EGBE), which is arguably one of the nearest to you: to find that station's pressure use:......... http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl then type in EGBE ... get report, and the figure you want are the numbers after the 'Q' ... so Q1021 means the pressure is 1021 mbar. These output are all mean sea level which for most purposes is what you require. Also, see the FAQ, Q/A 2B.14 ... address in my sig file.
