Without rushing into things I will eventually contact my nearest shul provided I feel this is the right decision to make which I hope it will be. In the mean time I've signed up for various jewish programmes in London. I was thinking about birthright but I have a feeling i'm not eligible

Wise move & currently you are not eligible,however if after you convert & providing you are the right age which I think is up until 21 or 22 you would be.

My father's technically jewish however. Ideally, would it be advisable to go to israel first before making this decision?

First of all you would need proof of that if you were intending to immigrate here,however just to visit anybody can visit here.
If you could prove it it would not help as you can not get married here or be buried in a Jewish cemetary unless your mother is Jewish or you had a proper recognized conversion which is why I suggested go to the United Synagogue & London Beth Din.

Oh no sorry I was referring to birthright. What I meant was before making the decision to convert with the beth din would you advise visiting Israel to ascertain the extent of my spiritual connection?

It may not be a bad idea.
