Much of the above advice is misguided at best.
1) You do have a contract - in the absence of anything else, it is based on statutory terms and conditions plus custom and practice (these are called implied terms).
2) Your employer is breaking the law, but not because you have not been given a contract. By law your employer should have given you a written statement of the main terms of your job. This must include - name of your employer, date started work, the amount of pay and how often you will be paid, hours of work, holiday entitlement, title of the job, sick pay arrangements if any, pension scheme if any.
3) In spite of the lack of the above you just can't walk out - you must give at least one week's notice.

You do have a contract - it was formed as soon as you accepted the offer of work. You just don't have the terms in writing.
The statutory minimum amount of notice you must give is one week when you've worked for your employer for one month or more. If your contract requires you to give more notice than one week then you should give it.

The contract doesn�t have to be in writing, but you�re entitled to a written statement of the main terms within two months of starting work

How much notice of termination must I get?
Both you and your employer are normally entitled to a minimum period of notice of termination of employment. After one month's employment, you must give your employer at least one week's notice; this minimum is unaffected by longer service. Your employer must give you:
at least one week's notice after one month's employment
two weeks after two years
three weeks after three years and so on up to 12 weeks after 12 years or more
However, you and your employer will be entitled to a longer period of notice than the statutory minimum if this is provided for in the contract of employment.
Most employees, subject to certain conditions, are entitled to certain payments during the statutory notice period. You can waive their right to notice or to payment in lieu of notice. Your employer can also waive their right to notice.
