Personally (coming from a 16 year old), I would invest it in my hobby (in a business sense)

I would love to start a server company, offering gaming servers, web hosting, etc. I know this is a highly crowded market, but I feel I could make it work.

However, I'm never going to do that, it's too high risk.

Unless I get a little charity

Just ask to see your banks financial advisor should be free to do so.
They usuly come into each branch 1 day a week.

he should be able to provide the best advice

Sensible but maybe not what you want: high ISA

I'd put it into property. Put a down payment on a house.

Or give it to a Nigerian so he can triple it for you.

High interest saving accounts.
Mini/Cash ISA.
Property.

Some on an awesome car, some to burn in front of tramps, extension on your house, whatever.

Firstly: Financial advisor - definately.

Secondly: Property - you will most definately be able to make money this way if you are sensible. Buy property/rent it out/etc.... that's prob what I'd do in ** situation..

I would "Invest it" in a car

I suppose you are best talking to a financial advisor but im guessing property or some uber intrest account would be best.
