You would need to contact the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in UK to obtain a Banking license (See http://www.fsa.gov.uk/doing/do) for more information.

In addition to this, you also need to get registered and licensed from Bank of England See http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/P... for more information.
