If you want to drive around in UK during the first year of your entry without the hassle of passing a driving theory & practical test then Yes it is definitely worth getting one. BUT insurance on an International Licence is costly. Another point to consider - Public transport in UK is reasonably good so unless you really want to own a car, you really dont need the licence.
Lastly, International licence can be used for renting cars in UK and Europe.

Depends where you are comming.
This will give you one year entitlement to drive. Your insurance will be very high.
You may wish to spend some time, money and enery in UK to take lessons and pass your test.

I guess more important than that is the underlying spirit of trying to help others which is the real idea behind this discussion board which the members here seem to be sticking to.
