I think you mean 'Ger Tzedek' or as we say today just a 'Ger'. Surely there are Jewish courts in London.

We cannot have a Ger Toshav until the Jubilee year is being observed. And until we have a Jewish government run according to the Torah.

So I cant just be a ger toshav by meeting  court of jewish rabbis in london?  I will have to travel to a jewish government land - like Israel.  Cant do that.  My passport prohibits me from travelling there.  I can be arrested for sedition or treason.
so do I just keep my pro-jewishness to  my-self.  Seems the way to go for now.

Title: Ger Toshav Meaning

To Zelhar- by ger toshav , I understand that it means for a noahide to bear allegiance to the Jews before a rabbinical court.  It is not conversion.  The ger toshav is basically an official noahide and friend and ally to the Jewish world.

I think then, that what you mean is a Noahide. Toshav means resident in Hebrew, and as far as I know Ger toshave is a status that only applies for a gentile who resides in Israel.
