There is no problem about getting into the Inn of Court of your choice: provided that you have the minimum qualifications you simply pick the one you feel is most suitable for you and apply, with two character references and the requisite fee. You may need to do a conversion course in the same way as graduates in subjects other than law do. It takes one year. All Inns have equal standing. You need to check with the Consolidated Regulations of the Inns of Court and the Bar as to what is required of you. It is downloadable at this link and gives you details of the person who can answer your enquiry better than I. http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:aKeaj1BlGbwJ:www.legaleducation.org.uk/Careers/thebar.php+england+consolidated+regulations+bar&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4

you could do the CPE - common professional exam. The course is 1 year and is what graduates of non law subjects do if they want a career in law.

Why don't you try and contact the Law Society in London I am sure they will give you the advice you need
