I need to find a good 400 to do to finish off my SR for the year. Though I don't think I'm going to have time before late July/August. Can anyone recommend anything? Would really like to not do it in the SE. I've really lost enthusiasm for anything without at least mildly dramatic scenery. Though also want to avoid anything too hardcore on climbing, which makes that harder.

The National 400 on 30th July?
Never done it but looks good. All food and good sleeping arrangements included with that 40 quid as the National event is the one where people get together to put on a good show.
Definitely scenic (Peak District, Staffs, Shropshire, North Wales).

Late July/August? You should have the form for something nice. Sadly no holidays for me so you have to do it.
@peter_v and @pastry_bot would agree with this being nice riding country.
Rondom Luxemburg
De 1000km met start op donderdag 11 augustus 2016.
Als uitbreiding wordt in Maastricht voor het eerst een 1000km brevet georganiseerd.
Bij dit brevet wordt geen ondersteuning geboden in de vorm van slaapgelegenheid of verzorging.
Vanuit Maastricht gaan we richting Luik naar Namen. Na Namen voert de route verder langs het Maasdal tot in Charleville-Mézières. Na Charleville-Mézières vervolgt de route zijn weg, verder langs de Maas. Verdun, Nancy, Sarreboug en Saarbücken zijn vervolgens de ijkpunten. Bij Mehring treffen we weer de Moesel. Door het Moezeldal naar Koblenz. Vanaf Koblenz een stukje door het Rijndal en dan door de uitlopers van de Noord Eifel gaat het via Zuid-Limburg terug naar Maastricht. Verlichting en reflectievest zijn noodzakelijk.
Start is op 11-8-2016 10:00, de finish sluit 14-8-2016 13:00. -
Could you do Kingdom of East Saxons 1st weekend of July? My wife is away so I will be riding that, it loops so option of sleep at base (though I won't bother with that).

Don't forget you can substitute longer rides for shorter (e.g. do 2 x 400 instead of a 400 and a 300) or just go the whole hog and do 4x600 for the SR.
My point is, don't limit yourself to just looking at 300s in the calendar to finish it off if there's a nice looking 400 or 600 that you've been thinking of.
Wishing I had more free time to do longer rides, but at least I get to do Ditchling Devil 200 in a few weeks' time.
