If peering and choice of transit is your primary concern, then you  
might well find the best approach lies in staying in London and  
finding a reliable contractor who is local and who can do things for  
you there when needed.

I've never heard of anybody acquiring peering in Birminghag.

You can peer in Manchester at the MaNAP, although I'm not sure how  
well that theory stacks up in practice these days. In any case from  
Brum it's not much further to London than it is to Manchester,  
ignoring the traffic issues.
