This would certainly work - is there any way so the default view isn't going straight to the US...

I'm guessing that it's the same as the one the VOC has on it's site, so it must be possible! If it's possible, setting it to use maps.google.co.uk instead of maps.google.com might do the trick, but I havn't looked at the interface for it.
