I think the UK would have a climate more oceanic than Portugal but less than the Azores.
Britain and Ireland would still be island and they would be located further west than the Iberian peninsula.
Since there isn't a large desert towards south, southern England wouldn't be the new Andalucia.
New averages:
London: February 10/16°C, August 19/27°C
Dublin: February 11/15°C, August 19/25°C
Edinburgh: February 8/13°C, August 17/25°C

I tend to agree, but we would still be very close to the Sahara, and with Andalucia just a couple of hundred km to the east, it would still exert some influence, I believe. The inland parts of southern UK would IMO be capable of highs of around 32C/33C on average in July with lows around 19C
Funchal at 33ºN, also an island averages 26.5ºC / 20ºC in the peak of summer and 20/14ºC in winter.
I think London, being a few kilometers inland and ina much bigger landmass/closer to mainland Europe would average 29-30ºC / 19ºC in the summer and around 17/8ºC in winter.
Places like Liverpool would be similar to Porto, with cooler summers and similar/ slightly warmer summers, so 23/13ºC in summer and 15/7ºC during winter.
Ben Nevis would receive more than 3000mm of annual precipitation, 20ºC / 10ºC during summer and 9/0ºC during winter

It would be my dream climate, I think.. also hopefully the waters between the UK and Portugal would be warmer than the Atlantic as the gap between the land is so small

Yes, that would be nice.
Instead of 18/19ºC average SST during summer in the west coast, maybe it would average around 22ºC
Even it is slightly Off Topic, would this have an impact on the climate of the Benelux states and Northern Germany as well?
I would say we would experience heavier gales during the winter and also more rainfall than now, since the British Isles act as a "barrier" easing the winds and also the rainfall.
Rainfall is now between 700 to 1000 mm here, so with that scenario we would probably receive about 1000 to 1500 mm per annum. Also the winter would be milder and the summers maybe slightly cooler.
