To get a PPL it will be 2 exams the Air Law and HPL papers which are under 30 questions total and a skill test again not hard for an experienced pilot. Please feel free to drop me a PM as I can do it all for you including the flight tests and am local.
50hrs
Pilot in Command under IFR, plus a £46 fee and some paperwork to the CAA to get a validation of your FAA IR to them, so that they'll then accept the UK IR test pass.
Once you have your UK IR, do be aware that it has to be revalidated annually by test, not on recency in the way that the FAA permit.
