+ 1 for Paddy Considine, but a mention must go to his supporting actor in Dead Mans Shoes - Toby Kebbel.
Always liked Robert Carlyle too.

Really surprised no one has mentioned him so far!
OK so I know he is from Dublin but for me it has to beMichaeln Gambon
His parents even moved to Mornington Crescent when he was 5 to help in the rebuilding of London
Just look at the stuff he's been in

Daniel Day-Lewis !!!!
Miranda Richardson
David Thewlis
