Altitudes and flight levels

Good morning,
I should know this from my training. But I'm afraid I don't. So shamelessly asking for help here.
Altitudes and flight levels.
Suppose I was going to IOW/Sandown from my base at Rochester. Once clear of the London TMA, I can climb and climb and climb, - in fact, that's what many people suggest I should do.
At what point do I go from QNH to flight levels if I want to cruise at or around 6K? And do I need to worry about the circular rule?
I seem to remember (vaguely) that the transition altitude varies from one place to the next - but I'm afraid this is where my knowledge ends....
Thanks for advice!
