The general rule, known as Rule 5 of the Air Navigation Order, requires 500
feet above any person, building, or structure, and 1500 feet above built up
areas. There are other limits that apply to crowds (like football games)
and tall structures, but those are the basics.

Can anyone tell me what the limits are for flying over built up areas
in the UK (not associated with a licenced airfield)

I can't see anything obvious on the CAA site.
