The usual suspect is the Sigma 10-20mm, but it won't be <£100 and neither will any of its contemporaries.

The cheap way to do it is to screw a 'wide-angle/fisheye adaptor' to the front, which typically reduces focal length by 40%, but will also screw image quality.

Assuming you've already got a lens that goes down to 18mm or so, then for £100 you've got no chance of a wider lens. You're looking at c. £400 for a 10-20mm type lens, a bit less if you can find one second-hand. The only option I can think of is a screw-in wide-angle converter lens, although I don't know what the quality would be like. Alternatively, if you've got a tripod and plenty of patience, you could try stitching multiple shots together.
