Download skymap from the app store and then just point your camera at them but that being said, if there are 2 "stars" vastly brighter than all of the others, they are likely not stars at all, they will most probably be planets.

According to Google, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are visible in the UK sky tonight, (insert Uranus joke here).

Fairly close together? Jupiter and Venus are both brightly visible and to the west at the moment
