It's absolutely practical, but it's not going to be consistent!
Bouldering usually works better than route-climbing when it's really cold because you can do a problem then get your gloves back on quickly, rather than having your hands slowly go numb during a route. And you're not standing still belaying someone else.
The British weather means that a lot of the time climbing will be impossible because it's raining, which is why "consistent" isn't an option here.
But if you're able to nip out when it's dry, you can have some great days -- on gritstone in particular, you get the best conditions when it's cold but dry.
