What is the Average Java Salary in the UK

I was wondering what the average wage for a java developer is in the uk. I found a couple of links. Also take into account that I searched for permanent positions and not contracting positions

below are the average salaries for a Java developer on the computer Weekly site

which allows you to type in your location (West Midlands, UK),

Average salaries for Programmers, Programmer in Software Houses/Consultancies, West Midlands are:

• Salary for industry:£25999pa
• Salary for industry within region:£25500pa

Senior developers get a bit more

• Salary for industry:£35466pa
• Salary for industry within region:£35466pa

This feature is based on information from Salary Services Ltd (SSL) in conjunction with Computer Weekly.

This is from from the website cw jobs website I think these jobs must take also take into account contracting rates and maybe they are more london based. Still I would like to be that Java wage
