Part-aero is good but I think technically out of date.
Slightly less user friendly (imo) is the EASA easy access stuff, which is from the horse’s mouth so to speak.
Easy access give historical amendments a useful feature these days where law is more volatile than weather 
What about this?
https://part-aero.com/#part-fcl
That site states at the top in big letters:
On th home page it now says:
Dear users, Part-Aero.com will be discontinued on June 1st 2019. We unfortunately no longer have the resources needed to maintain and keep it up to date. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope you enjoyed using this service as much as we had running it for the last 6 years.
Out of curiosity I looked to find who owns the domain and for some reason can’t. Who on earth would want to take on such a task for nothing? Anyway it speaks volumes that EASA doesn’t provide such a site!

Well, except that they do: https://www.easa.europa.eu/regulations
And there are now web-versions of (some for the moment) easy access rules, e.g. on OPS.
https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/easy-access-rules/online-publications/easy-access-rules-air-operations
Can I extend the question to “Where to find UK CAA regulations?”
I believe the answer (partial answer) is here:
https://info.caa.co.uk/uk-regulations/
However, that is not comprehensive because the ORS4 series declared exceptions from SERA, like ORS4 No. 1174 Exceptions to Minimum Height Requirements and No. 1423 Compliance with Cruising Levels.
Are there any other sources I need to refer to to get the full picture?

EASA is very slowly working its way towards something approaching the user-friendliness that part-aero.com delivers.
Which probably, regrettably, means that part-aero will not be updated.
Still, as @Peter writes, it is something of a mystery where the resources for part-aero ever came from.

http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplication.aspx?catid=1&pagetype=65&appid=11&mode=list&type=subcat&id=23
is also a good start.
But personally in the shot term I would start by the relevant EASA “Easy access” document and then check if there has been divergence.

Although that’s what I would do for my private flying, my question was more regarding a UK CPL exam where the CAA examiner could potentially be offended if I quote anything from EASA/EU. Better to stick to the UK laws in this scenario.

But isn’t the UK law (at least as far as aviation is concerned) that the EU laws continue to apply unless a “counter-law” has been passed?
Correct.
Also the UK is not going to diverge except in relatively unprovocative areas (e.g. the use of the self declaration medical for G-reg certified planes) because they still need to work with EASA and can’t spit in their soup too much. The Thread.
It will not diverge in 99% of health/safety/compliance related areas because, hey, would you guess, 97.53% of the UK fake-MBA (recent LSE Masters, and similar) crowd works in, you’ve guessed it, health and safety and compliance
