Coca-Cola lists caffeine as an ingredient in the UK.

I don't know why caffeine was originally added - maybe for flavour, maybe for the stimulant effects, possibly because of having to not have cocaine in it anymore...

The "original" Coca-Cola had caffeine as well - it's in the cola nut, which is where the "cola" part of the name comes from.
