Are there any websites you could recommend which show the uni rankings according to the subject apart from education guardian??

You can also try the Times rankings - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,716,00.html
and you might want to check out the Reasearch Assessment Exercise - http://www.hero.ac.uk/rae/
It's not a ranking of undergraduate courses but it will give you an indication of the quality of the research carried out by different faculties in the subject you're interested in.
The other thing you can do is head down to the local bookshop and check out some published guides to universities as well.

you didnt state what you needed the rankings for- if its for results, fine, you are looking in the right place,
But if you are looking for the best envirmonment to learn in, speak to or email the students- you have to ensure if you are going to learn, that you have picked somewhere you can access the facilities, feelable to approach the tutors- and if they are able to help you when the lectures have finished and if the uni feels suportive of your end goals and beliefs.- or as near to as possible!
NEXT check out the career prospects- are there any strong connections with employers, work experience on the course or careers advisors who really know thier stuff- try to track down a final year student or two and quiz them.
I went to uni, I studied a design based degree in London at a famous uni and like all graduates am in debt- but in a way glad to be as I wouldnt take back the experience for the world, the career prospects after leaving were crap- especially for my uni and I am now just starting to see... but I didnt really research my uni so I only have myself to blame for that
- that I had the time of my life and learnt SO SO much about my subject, met fantastic people who were also passionate about thier subject (trust me, club/bar nights were traded for 24hour working !!- though this was what I wanted!), was just very lucky- I have heard plenty of miserable stories from other unis!

The Times Good Uni Guide is really good. It has tables for every subject and the whole uni overall. Click here for links to all the tips on choosing your six unis: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3565-2429087,00.html
