Cheers @M_V - yeah, knobbly tyres are already ordered.

The bike is quite nippy and super fun to ride, albeit it just takes a while to get from A to B (it's 48:16).

In other words: what are my best options to get some useful gears on this?
I already looked for 20'' wheels with hub gearing, was surprised how expensive they are apparently, even second hand..

Yup, get yourself a Sturmey hub. They show up as bare hubs on eBay pretty cheaply and a shifter, indicator rod etc will cost you buttons.

In fact, you in the UK? There’s a 20” 3speed rear wheel from a chopper on eBay the now, £16 + £6 postage.

Berlin, I believe. Also, I recently chucked a complete working Shimano 3 speed wheelset (+shifters) in the skip - shoulda known it would be useful to someone in time.
