VFR only? Your best bet is probably to just stick with the B206. Followed by AS350 and EC120. (But only a very few operators have these two types at the moment.)
There is some VFR Twin work available, but not a lot. Most of the Twin work goes to IR drivers. If you do decide on Twin, AS355 followed by A109 would be my best bet.
But, unfortunately, without either a SEP FI or an IR, you might well struggle for regular work in England, even during the summer.
Unless you're up in Scotland, in which case PDG would be interested in either AS350 or AS355 ratings, both VFR.
Best of luck and I hope this helps,

Edited to add: What Limit's idea would probably be your best bet for work. EC135 with various Police forces or Bond Air Ambulances.
