14mm is not a UK size unless you have under floor heating pipe

If you've got the Hozelock system then this page tells you all you need to know.

And if you don't then I am sure you can work something out from Hozelock to sort you out.

OP is thinking about the pipe from the house to an outside tap londonman.

Compression tee to whatever the existing pipe is.
Stopcock.
Drain cock and Tee, unless you can find an all in one fitting.
15mm pipe.
maybe 2-3 elbows.
Inserts for the pipe if you use 15mm plastic
Double check valve or hose union tap with a built-in check valve.
Small roll loctite 55 string
