UK bikes on trains

Can anyone offer any suggestions regarding taking a bicycle on a train in the UK?

I am working on a tour of the UK next year and may want to combine the bike with trains for portions of the trip. Anyone know the process for taking a bike on a train in the UK? What do I need to watch out for? Can I simply put the bike on the train or do I need to box it? Is there a separate fare required for the bike? Most likely scenario would be taking a train from London to Portsmouth. Anything anyone can suggest would be welcome. Any Brits out there that can help me with this one? Thanks.
