search web for book publishing houses in UK, ask for "submission guidelines" if they have them

Well, writing the book would be a start.
Then editing.
Then contracting a graphics artist for the cover.
(And while you're doing all this, you should start advertising and promoting yourself as much as possible--within reason.)
But be aware: Getting in the door to traditional publishing (even in the UK), is a lot tougher these days than it looks.
I don't know the numbers for unsolicited ms's for new writers being openly accepted by publishers in GB, but here in the States, 80% of the mainstream now requires that you get an agent.

1. Go to the publishes and propose it to them. Send them synopses, 10 first pages and SASE.
2. Go to the agents who will present it to the publishers. Send synopses, 10 first pages and SASE to agents.
3. Self-publish.
