Meters can be purchased through suppliers to the taxi trade. Google will bring this up.
You will have to get a hackney license for yourself as driver and a hackney license for the car as well. Our local council was about £500 for those for three year licenses. Your car will probably go through a council inspection every 6 months depending on where you live. You will also have to get public liability insurance. (£1k a year when I did it). Most now ask for a police interview to confirm your a fit person to hold a license.
Most councils have a waiting list for a hackney plate. Ours is about 3 years. Until then its private hire.
Quite frankly, unless you have the car working 24/7 I wouldn't bother. I was putting in 70-80 hour weeks to make a living.

First of all you'll need to meet the following requirements:
1)Reduce your IQ by 40 points
2)Drive everywhere in 5th gear at 2000rpm
3)Random U turns without signaling gets you bonus points
4)Spout constant bullshit with the inability to recognise that you are boring your passengers into a coma.
5)And seeing as you're from Norfolk, a slight perversion towards saying "Ooh Arrr, gerr orf moy laaand" a lot might help.
