Best account for short term savings...

Basically I'm looking for the best account for saving in a short period of time. I'm looking to save save save for 6 months to a year, looking for about £5000 if not more. So what would be the best account for this ?

    Got an ISA opened, £50 a week will be going in there. Also opened a regular saver, 7% fixed term of a year and no withdrawls unless I close the account before a year, but then I won't get my 7%. So I think I'll stick as much extra I can afford in there.
