Are contingency fees legal in the United Kingdom?

Yes, in England and Wales. Conditional fee agreements (no win, no fee with a success fee) are allowed under section 58 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, and damages-based agreements, where the lawyer takes a share of the damages, under section 58AA. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules.
