smashed samsung galxy s2 screen

I just got mine replaced through insurance. I would recommend getting it done properly...the kits cost as much as £100, are fiddly and if you mess up you need a whole new phone. Annoying I know...
If you don't have insurance though might be worth looking into, but it isn't as simple as taking the old one out and slotting the new one in. I would do some reading on the subject to help you make your mind up mate.

Try going direct to Samsung.
I did that with HTC and my Nexus One. Was only slightly more than buying a kit and doing it myself, and they picked it up from work, fixed it, billed me, dropped it back to work.
~£75 IIRC
Is it the LCD thats broken, or just the glass on the front?

Hmm, a bit of googling seems to suggest that the Glass/AMOLED/Digitiser are all one laminated piece.
It would appear that you can with a lot of effort and care de-laminate the glass from the rest and replace just that yourself, but you run the risk of killing the screen and/or touch digitiser anyway, so unless you're pretty confident then I wouldn't go that route. It involves using a heat gun and a very sharp thin knife to heat the adhesive that bond them together and prising them apart.
You can source a Glass/AMOLED/Digitiser and replace that following this video. Ebay seems to be your best bet, and it'll cost about £125. Fairly simple process.
