According to the 'monkey sanctuary' "it is still legal to keep monkeys as pets in the UK and the Trust has now launched a campaign to put an end to the primate-pet trade in this country".
Most Monkey species need a Dangerous wild animal license to own. A license can only be granted by your local authority and the minimum age is 18. Some species do not need a license, but their needs still have to be legally met under the animal welfare act.
Monkeys are not pets, they are intelligent, unpredictable and social (most species) animals and are difficult and expensive to look after. Unless you can keep them in top quality zoo conditions, including indoor and outdoor enclosures, enclosure designs, maintaining and controlling social groups, nutrition, evacuation procedures in emergencies, procedures in case of escape, ext, then you shouldn't own one.

A lot of monkeys are threatened or endangered, so keeping pet monkeys is actually illegal now unless you move to Bali, Thailand, etc. Also, monkeys may look fun, but they're not a baby for long and they get hard to handle and even if it seemed to love you like you love it, they have huge fang teeth and the bite could get you into hospital.
