Hi,
Well, generally speaking, the UK does not require GRE for its Masters programs! The GRE is a basically required for admissions into MS programs in the US. For all technical Masters courses in the UK related to the engineering or Medical field , an IELTS is enough. So even if you see the top universities like Oxford Cambridge and Imperial, they do not require GRE for these particular Masters courses.

But for any Masters course related to business management economics or accounts , top universities in UK like Oxford will ask for a GRE or GMAT score. While almost 90% of the UK universities will not require a GRE or GMAT for any of their courses!

Thus we can say that you will need to give a GRE only if you are planning for a Masters course related to the business, management, economics and accounting field and that too in the top ranked universities in the UK!
Hope that helps.
