I'll describe the denominations you mention, for the purpose of completeness, but you've only left out one small denomination, from what I have found. The denominations are:
- United Reformed Church (founded 1972)
- Formed by the merger of the Presbyterian Church of England and the Congregational Church in England and Wales.
- Theologically liberal, and no longer exclusively presbyterian.
- Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster (1951)
- Theologically conservative (Westminster Standards, but permitting credobaptism). Based in Ireland; only a small minority of its churches are in England.
- International Presbyterian Church (1969)
- Theologically conservative (Westminster Standards and Three Forms of Unity). One of its four presbyteries is in the UK, of which several churches are in England
- Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England and Wales (1987)
- Theologically conservative (Westminster Standards). About 20 congregations, most of which are in England.
