William Hill, a large British bookmaker, has a poker room that is a part of the iPoker network.
For some reason there are a lot of crazy bad players. I saw a guy bet $100 into a $3 pot when I had flopped the nuts. The bonuses have attracted a number of fairly decent tight players, but most of them are playing three or four tables at once to clear the bonus in a hurry, so won't be playing at their best.
iPoker have a good selection of tournaments, thse are mostly smaller buyins (they have 2 + 0.25 buyin tournaments every half hour, in peak times at least), but there are larger tournaments as well. The best of these is the 12,000 pound guarantee (20+2 buyin maximum 600 people, there's usually only about 500 entrants, so there's a bit of overlay).
The software is acceptable. The table kills my sound card, so when the music stops, I know it's time to fold (or watch the screen pop up to show whatever auto-action I checked actually happening). The tables are nicely laid out and the important things (like bet size, pot size, etc) are obvious at glance. The tournament lobbies provide up to date information (one of my gripes about some other programs is that you can't tell what sort of chip position you are in during a multi).
