Essex Boys.
Rise Of The Foot Soldier
The Krays
The Business
Gangster No1
The Take(Martina Coles Sky 1 series, stars Tom Hardy)
Sexy Beast
Layer Cake
Top Boy(Channel 4 tv series on Hackney drug dealers)

EDIT: Whoops noticed you mentioned good films, some of these are questionable but worth a watch i guess. The Take is one of my favorites.

The TOP BOY TV series is absolutely brilliant. A bit like a British THE WIRE.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

Not quite sure they are in the gangster genre but Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are very good British crime films..

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

I really enjoyed the Top Boy series also, thought the acting was pretty good.

Although i read there is going to be no series 3, which is a big disappointment considering it was planned out to be 3 series.

"The Krays" and "The Long Good Friday" were very good.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
