There is also no "within the UK" restriction. The CAA validates automatically (without paperwork) an FAA licence for flights in a G registered aircraft worldwide, not just the UK.
Also the UK is not the only country that recognises the FAA licence without any further paperwork. The Irish Aviation Authority also recognised the FAA licence without any paperwork, but in this case, there is a Day restriction, and there is a "Republic of Ireland only" geographic restriction.

Interesting. Where did you get that from ? I got what I posted from the CAA after calling them, admittedly a while back. They were very clear about UK and Day-VFR only. If this has changed, then I stand corrected. However, it might be worth re-checking with the chaps at LGW.
PS: I am/was aware of the Irish situation but forgot to include in my post.
