You need to talk to a tax advisor in the UK. Since you will not be abroad for the entire UK tax year (which I think starts during the first week of April) you could end up subject to full UK taxation fro the entire year. So be careful!

(Note I am not a tax expert, but I work with a lot of Brits to whom I constantly B&M about being an American citizen who gets to pay taxes for the whole year no matter where I am--even if I worked on the moon!).
