I'm a bit concerned by your wording. I take it you are aware that the share price drops by (roughly) the amount of the dividend (ie you will still own approximately the same amount of the company, it's just that you will then have a bit more in cash and a bit less in shares?).

End goal to earn £11 Thousand from share dividends, not from one company but many

the Ft100 average return is about 3%

so to get a return of 11,000 requires investment of
11,000/3% = 367,000

investing in individual shares is very risking

in recent times 'safe' high dividend shares include the UK banks, BP, Tesco

remember that dividend yield as shown in newspapers etc is back ward looking and not forward looking : so if the share price collapses then the apparent dividend yield shoots up
