Dont know how much of an investor you are, but a good bet would be to split it up and invest it in gilts, the rest with a fund management or in a portfolio of stocks - wud diversify your risk and fetch you better returns. The gilts is virtually default free and a steady flow of interest payments (fixed income securities). Honestly if I had that much cash, I would invest it with a private equity firm.

Depends on your approach to risk.
An Independent Financial Advisor would be the best person to talk to. The housing market still gives a strong return on investment but you would need to buy in the growing area's. You can also invest in art, wine, antiques and horses all of which if chosen wisely are a sound investment.and have tax benefits.

I would diversify this way you could reduce the risk in one particular area:
1.Investing in flats or small houses close to a reasonable sized town/city
2. £7000 P.A. into an ISA
3. Some into investment trusts
4. Possibly keep some back for emergencies in a low risk/low gain instant access account
Depending on how much time you want to spend on it 2 could be a self select ISA where you chose specific shares.

Short term? Or Long Term? Risky or non risky? Isas are non risky, you can inveting in Premium Bonds which will NEVER lose money; Shares are risky but you can make a forture.. A property perhaps,espcially with crazy prices in the UK- you can let it out.. ING Account which is safe and pasy a 5.%
Isas are tax free... best to speak to a Financial Advisor and see what your options are..

talk to your bank...see if hey have a financial adviser...but don't get pushed into anything on the spot....book an appointment and after the appointment take all the information away to look at at home. Any financial adviser will be more than happy for you to take your time deciding on your investment.

Invest half in travelling and the other half in property. Travel alone and you will have the fortune of the brave on your side. You will know which property to invest in as a reward...

Property.
1) if you are renting, buy somewhere
2) if you have bought, pay off your mortgage
3) if you own your home outright, invest in another property to rent out.
£100k will buy you somewhere in less expensive regions or provide a useful deposit for a mortgage in more expensive areas.
