The following European Directive has been included into UK regulations:

"In the case of a speedometer manufactured for sale in any Member State
where imperial units of measurement are used, and where transitional
arrangements in accordance with Article 5 are in force, the speedometer
shall be marked both in km/h and in mph (miles per hour) ; the
graduations shall be of 1, 2, 5 or 10 km/h and also of 1, 2, 5 or 10 mph
and the values of the speed indicated on the dial shall be multiples of
20 km/h and multiples of 20 mph."

It is also legal to import, into the UK, a European vehicle with a
metric-only speedometer.
