Would like for UK
in UK English people use the verb 'shall', don't they?
so, how do they say phrase ' I would like to do that' ? (without shortening 'd)
I should like to do that, is that okay?

It is perfectly correct to say either "I would like to do that" or "I should like to do that". It is much more common to hear someone say "would" in this case, "should" sounds more old-fashioned.
