London E-bike laws

Hi all! Considering buying an e-bike as since my hamstring tear, cycling is taking a bit of a toll.
Ideally I want to ride a bike where I can use the throttle rather than have to pedal.
Can anyone tell em the reality of using these bikes in London? Do people get pulled over/ points on their license if caught? Is it actually an issue if you’re riding a 250W bike, commuting times and you’re just being reasonable?

Really wish they would let you guys go up to 350w. 350 is perfect.

It's literally the first thing they check if they think you're going too fast. A powerful pedal assist will be less effort than walking anyway.
