This is not a problem: Any UK Examiner can issue you with Level 6 English (provided you are) following an assessment (10 minute chat, or as part of a Proficiency Check).

Ensure you get your English LP recorded, either on the standard SEP Renewal Form if applying directly for a UK Licence, or on the stand alone LP form if applying first for renewal of your French issued one.

Note: If you have French Language Proficiency noted on your French issued Licence, I am unaware of any method of getting the UK CAA to recognize this.
Thanks, indeed the examiner has confirmed that he will be able to conduct a level 6 English proficiency test the day of my test so should be fine.
