mike,

what do you see when you enter this url in your web browser:

http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/2337?res=3hourly&key=XXX

substitute your apikey for XXX

i get this:

{"SiteRep":{"Wx":{"Param":[{"name":"F","units":"C","$":"Feels Like 
Temperature"},{"name":"G","units":"mph","$":"Wind 
Gust"},{"name":"H","units":"%","$":"Screen Relative 
Humidity"},{"name":"T","units":"C","$":"Temperature"},{"name":"V","units":"","$":"Visibility"},{"name":"D","units":"compass","$":"Wind
 Direction"},{"name":"S","units":"mph","$":"Wind 
Speed"},{"name":"U","units":"","$":"Max UV 
Index"},{"name":"W","units":"","$":"Weather 
Type"},{"name":"Pp","units":"%","$":"Precipitation 
Probability"}]},"DV":{"dataDate":"2017-01-02T17:00:00Z","type":"Forecast"}}}


which is an empty forecast.

what do you see when you enter this url:

http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/3772?res=3hourly&key=XXX

this is the forecast for london.  you should get valid json with the london 
forecast.

you cannot simply enter random urls in weewx.conf - of course that will 
"throw many error"

the syntax for the UKMO section is:

[[UKMO]]
    location = YYYY

where YYYY is a valid location code, such as 3063 for aviemore.
