M. De Pasquale, S. R. Oates (MSSL-UCL) reports on behalf of the 
Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 130420B
57 s after the BAT trigger (Oates et al., GCN Circ. 14411).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Page et al., GCN 
circ.
14421) is detected in the initial and summed UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.02 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
