On a visit visa you need to show you can fund yourself, money, credit cards, etc, or prove that you are supported by a sponsor in the UK. A bit of each probably helps more.

This is a subject close to my heart as my Fiancee is just about to try again for a Visa to come to the UK. She was refused a Marriage Visa last year, so this year we are trying for what we hope will be easier, a Tourist Visa.
She tells me that a friend of hers was recently refused entry as a Tourist to Australia, (even though her boyfriend who lives in OZ was covering all her expenses), because she only had 30,000 PHP available to her !
Another friend who used to work for a Visa Agency in Manila has told her that the UK demands that visitors have more funding than any other country does. :(
But a friend tells me his Fiancee came to the UK on a Tourist Visa about 18 months ago, and she had NO PERSONAL MONEY AT ALL.
After info like this, personal experience, and from watching the recent TV Documentary Series, I get the impression that it all depends on which ECO and Immigration Officer you get, and the sort of mood they are in at the time.
