I bought this bonsai from Asda yesterday. After looking online i have noticed a few other people with the same plant but no luck identifying what species. Help is Greatly appreciated.

Looks like boxwood to me. Keep it outdoors.

Probably buxus harlandii.

Thanks this was sold as a indoor plant, bit disappointing. is there any way this could grow indoors in the uk ?

It could last for a few weeks indoors before dying. I suppose if you weren't looking for anything long-term it could work...
It's summer so it should adjust fairly well to being moved outside. Look up care guidelines on this website for more information.

If you provide enough light, then there should be no problem. An Aquarium lamp would do, make sure you mist it to have humidity levels up too.

I own two Buxus green velvet. They are evergreens, and I was under the impression they needed the dormant period of winter. Myabe Buxus harlandii can be kept indoors? no clue...

As an evergreen, I am sure it would do much better outdoors though.

Harlandii is a subtropical species which , afaik is suitable for being kept indoors.
All plants prefer a place outside when weather conditions are right though

My girlfriend just bought me one aswell , it is severely pot bound and I'm guessing you'res will be as well , so I'm keeping it indoors this year so I can repot it in autumn , then next year after any danger of frost is will try acclimatise it to the outdoors , it should be alright as long as I protect it from hard frosts .
I advise you to clean up the trunk a bit from the Moss that grows on it as I did and I found out that it was eating some of the bark away.

Not really eating the bark, but it does hold moisture against it, causing rot. Use an old toothbrush to scrub it away. You'll probably always have some there; just chase it back from time to time.
