I read through the link you supplied and the only Internet services I could find mentioned was NTP which, as a previous poster mentioned, is a computer-to-computer protocol.
For our non-American subscribers, time.gov is a NIST run site that provides a time display in a web browser. For any reasonable high-speed internet connection (ie, non-dialup, non-satellite) the display seems to be accurate within a few tenths of a second.
So is there a time.gov equivalent web-browser-based service available from the UK?

The UK equivalent of NIST (time.gov) is UTC(NPL): http://www.npl.co.uk/science-technology/time-frequency/time/time-overviewRegards,Jaap
