Hi Anatoly,

you can probably plan a train journey using the German rail website - say  
Minsk to Berlin which takes about 19 hours. Birmingham is probably another  
10 hours by train from there (via Cologne and Brussels)

But that won't be cheap because of the channel tunnel trains. Might be  
better getting to Poland and getting a coach. It looks like Bialystok -  
London is a single route:

Hitchhiking is certainly legal but can take quite a while but it's  
certainly something I'd not want to do in the current heat wave, from  
which the UK has just escaped.

Good luck with your travels!
