From Brook.org.uk

The Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000 legalised consensual homosexual acts between men provided that they are both 16 or over in England, Wales and Scotland (17 or over in Northern Ireland) and the act takes place in private.

The only offence concerned with lesbianism is that of indecent assault. Therefore, provided both women consent and neither is under the age of consent, acts of lesbianism are legal.
