starts in about 10 minutes and will be quite visible across the UK (provided you haven't too many clouds haha) - lasts about half an hour apparently

Amazing! i managed to catch a fair few im lucky my house backs onto a field so its easy to get far enough from the light pollution to let your eyes adjust.
I couldnt see any for about 5 mins then once you get your night vision they are streaking all over the place.

Heres a pretty cool video someone made of it.
