legislation.gov.uk — the National Archives' own bookshelf

The UK's official, continuously revised database of Acts of Parliament and Statutory Instruments, including devolved legislation from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, maintained by The National Archives. "Revised" is the operative word: unlike a static PDF of an Act as originally passed, this shows the law as amended, which is what you actually want to know unless you're doing historical research.
