However the Instrument Rating would require some extra training and 2 separate skills tests. This is because EASA requires the skills test to be done in EASA airspace and the UK requires it do be done in UK airspace.
Theoretical knowledge again there are schools with dual approval so the study time counts for both but you will have to sit each exam twice, once for the UK once for EASA. MCC & UPRT can be done at a dual approved school so could count for both.
If the school isn't dual approved then yes you would basically have to do everything twice.
Fair few places to get a dual initial - did mine at centreline in London
