To apply for a Schengen visa in the United Kingdom go to the VFS Global application centre in Birmingham, Edinburgh, London or Manchester. You can only submit an application there if you live in the United Kingdom.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

From Irish experience, they ask for a proof of residence, taking applications only from residents. You can, of course, ask the application centre directly, but chances are you won't be allowed to do so.

Can't your sister and family meet her in the UK?
