The UK has an progressive IT culture. Experience counts more than academic results in this industry in the UK. I have never been asked to present any academic certificates in the UK whilst working for an IT company. They are much more interested to hear what projects I have previously worked on, what challenges I faced, and how I solved those problems. Notably, your work experience comes first on your curriculum vitae in the UK. This is vastly different to Germany for instance, where I still get asked for copies of my university degree (completed 20 years ago). My "Lebenslauf" (CV) requires a photo of myself and needs to be in "reverse chronology", such that my academic qualifications are shown first. I've always found this to be particularly backwards (no offence to any Germans here), but they do like to dot I's and cross T's, so it doesn't surprise me. I think your chances are good if you can present yourself well and you can deliver.
