    I am not sure, but this sounds like a nice little project I could make if I ever get some spare time.

    I am not sure if you would be able to find a free real time one though becuase the developers will have to pay to use the web service, so the free ones may provide slightly out of date stock quotes (I have written a simple web page that does this) as you can use those web services for free.

    I'll have a look to see if there are any web services for London Stock Exchange, if not it pretty much means the guy in the bedroom can't develop them so finding one will be hard.
