PhD by Publication is an option here in the UK. Check this link from Warwick University to see if you're eligible and if this is something you'd be interested i

  Interesting! Does this mean that you can focus on publishing a few papers and make a proposal highlighting all your contributions and papers, then apply to get a PhD title.

    Nope, you still formally sign up like a standard PhD student but will organize your thesis as a series of published and peer-reviewed papers, instead of the standard format, at the normal end of your PhD program. There is neither an accelerated path nor a diy option because the PhD is strictly meant as training time in the UK, much more like an apprenticeship than autonomous contribution.
