I had a look on the CAA's website (www.srg.caa.co.uk) but there appears to be no reference to Flying Instructor Rating requirements at present. Your best bet would be to email them:

I think 200hours total is required. You also need a CPL in order to instruct for reward, hence you have to look up the requirements for CPL issue (roughly 200hrs total + 100hrs PIC + the theory work, see the CAA website once again).
All Flight Crew Licencing Requirements can be found in JAR-FCL1 (which you should find lurking about at your local flying club).
The actual Flying Instructor Course can be completed at any of these FTOs: <a href="http://www.srg.caa.co.uk/documents/srg_fcl_approvedftos.pdf" target="_blank">www.srg.caa.co.uk/documents/srg_fcl_approvedftos.pdf</a> [Page 4].
The courses can be achieved either full-time or part-time and presently cost between £4500 and £6000.
Sorry the info is a bit vague but hope it's useful nonetheless.
