did an ICAO (Canada) licence conversion in the UK in 2004/2005, cost me 20K Eur and....15 months, 12 of them for the ATPL exams (distance learner).
Not too much expensive an investment, but a bit time consumming.

Perhaps some more info would be helpful, what licence do you currently hold?
I would think you are going to have to do the 14 ATPL theory exams, then hours as required with a flight school to pass the Instrument flight test, then hours as required for the CPL flight test.
The cost is hard to say, because it depends on how many hours you will need to be ready for the 2 flight tests.
10-15k perhaps.

Need help with becoming a pilot in the UK
Hi guys,
I am an American pilot with a CPL single and multi, and instrument rating all FAA. I have about 200 hours and wil soon start CFI. My goal is to move to the UK and get either an instructor job or any kind of flying job. So far I have learned that I need to take a JAA ATPL ground school and pass all the tests. What I havn't learned is anything else. So what else do I need to do and how should I go about doing it? I can't seem to find anyone out there who has already done this before. Im looking for any and all advice on this subject and would greatly appreciate any that you can provide. Also if Im in the wrong place please let me know.
Thanks for the help,
Mike

Sorry. My rant is over.
I do believe they are screaming out for instructors but do you have the right to work in the uk?

G'day,
Generally a right of abode is usually issued to folks who have an ancestral claim to one. Eg grandparent born in the UK.
To get a visa to live and work in the UK is much much harder.
Do you have claim to a UK passport? eg, father born in the UK?
The rest of Europe is similar to the UK with respects to residency and work permits.
Before worrying about the flying side of a license conversion I'd check out the immigration depts of various countries first.

You could always try coming over on the back of a truck via Calais - They never seem to get sent back home 
Good luck with the flying buddy, there are plenty of low hour British pilots who can't find jobs and even willing to spend the £20k on a TR. So I think you'll need a lot of luck to make is stick oer here not to mention the cost
