It would probably be a lot colder in winter and generally drier, the UK would probably be seasonally connected by ice cap to continental Europe if easterly winds were persistent.
Yes, but i'm wondering what the actual temperatures would be like? Or is it even possible to predict that?
Of course not, it's all speculation. Nobody could accurately say what the temperatures in NW Europe would be exactly like. Similar to Hokkaido perhaps, but with cooler summers? Or Sakhalin?
Would there actually be sea ice though? I think the gulf stream would stop that. I mean we got cold wibters where it was below 0c for three months and we still got no ice.

Well let's assume that the earth is rotating in the opposite direction, mean winds would be easterly (westerly across the tropics), in such a scenario, the gulf stream probably wouldn't exist, and if such a thing did exist, it would probably be going in the opposite direction towards N America. Sea ice would be a common feature, certainly estuary's and rivers such as the the Thames, Forth and Clyde would be frozen over.
London in this alternate universe.

Well in this sotuation the earth would rotate the way it does now. The winds would just change to easterly.
