A colleague in the UK sent me the key results for philosophy (reflecting the relationship between the quality of the submissions and the size of the faculty, which is what affects the financial contribution from the government to the university):
1. Oxford University
2. Cambridge University (History & Philosophy of Science)
3. King's College, London
4. University College London
5. University of Edinburgh
6. University of Leeds
7. University of St Andrews
8. University of Warwick
9. Universitoy of Sheffield
10. London School of Economics
11. University of Birmingham
12. Cambridge University (Philosophy)
13. University of Bristol
14. University of Durham
15. Birkbeck College, University of London
One thing I don't know is to what extent the submissions reflected recent changes in faculty rosters: for example, Cambridge (Philosophy) recently added Holton & Langton from MIT; Sheffield is losing Hookway to retirement; Leeds lost Barnes & Camerson to UVA. Bear in mind that the UK evaluation exercise is no longe r a purely "scholarly" evaluation, as it also measures "impact," meaning nonsense like how often faculty research is mentioned in the media.
UPDATE: Michael Otsuka (LSE) writes:
Everyone who was in post on the 31 October 2013 'census date' counts for this REF. So Langton and Holton count, since they were in post by September 2013.

Barnes and Cameron also count for Leeds, since they didn't leave until well after the census date.
