I don't know about Sweden, but you definitely DON'T need a visa if you're a UK citizen; there's a list of countries eligible for the "visa waiver program", under which you just sign a declaration that you are not a Nazi war criminal, terrorist or drug dealer, and don't have any criminal record. I don't have the list of countries eligible, but I'd imagine Sweden will be on it too...
In case there's any doubt how this works, it's simple, this declaration is a green form which you can either get at the airport check-in desk, or from the flight attendants while in-flight (they usually hand them out when the airplane approaches its destination). You give the filled-out declaration to the passport-checking guys at the airport. As Norway is in this visa waiver program, I've experienced it in practice...
