Hi Andrea,
The best sites for finding out what is going on are:
http://www.webfeet.org/
This lists all the ceilidh-orientated dances. Simpler dances usually with
lots of energy - lots of stepping.
http://www.setandturnsingle.org.uk/
This lists all the Folk Dance Clubs. ECD is an American concept. At FDCs
the evening will usually have lots of ECD-like material, but can include
anything including contras, squares and barn dances.

This will give you the links for all the contras I know about in the UK.
http://www.efdss.org/
If you are in London it is worth going to Cecil Sharp House - this site will
tell you what is on.

MWSD in the UK.
If you want to try some English couples dancing try some Ceroc/Modern
Jive/LeRoc. You will find all the clubs listed at
http://www.uk-jive.co.uk - if you want to know what it is see
http://www.modernjive.com - great fun :-)
Hope that helps :-)
If there is any particular person or organisation you need to contact,
e-mail me and I will try to put you in touch.
Happy dancing,
John
