Driving in the U.K on a chinese driving license?
Answers:
you can drive any small vehicle eg cars and or motorcycles, shown on your driving licence, for a period of 12 months from the date that you last entered the country, as long as it remains full and valid
i think you need to pass the theory test good luck
As far as I know you can use your licence in the uk for 1 year but only if you get the chinese embassy to officially translate your licence into english. You could contact Dvla to confirm this.
You should be all right
If you have a drivers licence from any country you should be able to drive in another (if not they won't rent you a car anyway). But if you plan to stay in the country for any length of time, that's different.
I would suggest however that you review the local driving rules since they will have some differences and you don't want to cause an accident or anything like that.
Have fun and enjoy your time in the UK
According to the DVLA website it looks like you can drive on your own licence for up to 12 months - it doesn't say you have to have an International Driving Permit - maybe send them an email to check, see link:

Definitely check the rules & regulations of the car rental companies though, they have strict guidlines & might require an intl permit/translation of your licence. I would be a shame to get here & find out no-one will give you a car.
Enjoy your trip !!
This may be some help

if you have your international driving licence you can drive for a one year , after that if you want to drive in the uk you have to apply for a uk provisional driving licence than apply to pass the uk driving theory and practical test.to obtain a uk driving licence.
if you return to your country with in one year and come back later the same procedure appllies as above.
Your Chinese licence is OK for 12 months - period
