If you just want the # symbol, press Alt-3. I don't have a British keyboard so I'm going on what I've found. For me, it prints the £ symbol.

System Prefs > Language & Text > Input Sources.
Check the Keyboard & Character Viewer.
Check Show Input Menu in menu bar.

Open the keyboard viewer from the icon on the menu bar > Press the shift key and the keyboard viewer shows which characters are available. Same with the option key and option shift etc.
Play with the Character Viewer for all the other symbol options.

Have fun.
