Just saw another thread about EASA planning to phase out IR flight on an FAA/IR license in an N-reg? Can anyone confirm this? Time frame if true?
If EASA ever do get round to banning FAA IRs and N reg aircraft it will be a case of having to convert your IR if you are staying for more than 90 days (probably). If this were to happen (which personally I think is unlikely in the near future) then we may be looking at c.2010.
To convert it would be 15hrs extra training and a flight test.
But if you are coming over soon I really wouldn't worry about it.

Training, flight test and ALL the JAA IR written exams.
I wouldn't worry about it at the moment, especially if you are a US citizen. It would cause a massive stink if Europe kicked out 100% genuine American pilots. You could do some really good publicity on U.S. TV, which would really help Airbus sales out there (not).

Worse than that, it would be a regular trade war once some US congressman got involved. They would end up banning JAA and such licenses in reciprocity. It would get ugly really quickly.

Convertion????
Come on, it is Europe, the lend of the great and the best. Don't forget that we know it all.
You say that you will live in London and want to be near the American school. If you mean the one at St. Johns Wood (London's NW8 post code) then your nearst airfield is Elstree (EGTR).
