I've got a Sennheiser HD 201 and the isolation is rather bad.
What I use for isolation are earphones with longer foams that really stuff the ears effectively (basically, not IPOD buds).
I had more luck with that than headphones as far as isolation is concerned.
Those are not advertised as being isolating. The sennheiser headphones that are good at isolating advertise that they are. Most are not, and they don't say anything about isolating noise.
I have HD 202 after I looked up multiple brands, they sound really good so I am really happy I got them. Now I don't hear much outside noise if I have the volume at a reasonable level (I looked it up one time and it said that the volume I usually listen to is safe for my ears)

These are noise isolating ones for about $70 dollars without shipping considered (i don't know what that price would be in pounds)
[Mod. edit: right now, $70 US = £40 ]
