Yes you can switch in the UK, either by post or in person.

Thanks for your reply.

I called Homeoffice on 0300 123 2241 and lady said no incountry switching to spouse visa and one has to leave country and make application from home country

Please elaborate on it. Thanks

The call centre I believe is an agent and they are well known for giving the wrong information and take no responsibility for it

You can switch in country, you are not the first to do so and certainly won't be the last. You must switch before your current visa expires.
