As a follow-up from the earlier thread about arbitraging price differentials dual-listed AIM stocks, I am currently looking at listed UK stocks with ADRs or other US listings. Does anyone know if a list of them exists anywhere?

Obviously, BP (LON:BP.) is one and there's a long list of them here on the Citibank web-site (http://www.citiadr.idmanagedsolutions.com/www/front_page.idms) but it includes all foreign stocks, not just the Brits.
Virgin Media is another dual-listed UK/US stock, although I think that, in that case, the primary listing is Nasdaq, not the UK. Still, any examples like that would be interesting too.
Thanks for any hints!
