Es una medida tendiente a deslegitimar al régimen de Gadafi, segundo lider en ejercicio cuya captura ha solicitado la Corte Penal Internacional.
El Secretario Exterior William Hague manifiesta que el RU solo reconoce como autoridad legítima al Consejo "rebelde" Libio.
William Hague has said the UK will recognise the Libyan rebel council as the "sole governmental authority", as Gaddafi-regime diplomats are expelled.
The Libyan charge d'affaires was called to the Foreign Office earlier to be told he and other diplomats must leave.
Instead the UK will ask the National Transitional Council to appoint a new diplomatic envoy.
It follows similar moves by the US and France. The UK previously said it recognised "countries not governments".
A Foreign Office spokesman said that had not changed and said it was a political, not legal recognition.
Libyan rebels and pro-Gaddafi forces are still locked in battle, five months after an uprising began against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule, as Nato continues to enforce a UN-backed no-fly zone over the country.
