There is a lunar eclipse which can be seen easily from the UK. Check out http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2002Nov20N.gif for details.

As there's no umbral obscuration it'll not be all that noticable.

true, but at least there is one. In fact it would be an interesting project to see how the moon looks at various parts of the eclipse sequence. It would definately show up more clearly if it was turned it a movie!!
