Seems like a fairly good deal, but if I were you I would try a few different bikes to gauge which you like the best. The way they feel will varry more than you think. And as for speed, traffic lights, you, tyres and wheels, will have a big effect.
I'm not sure what sort of road bike £400 is going to get you new. 2nd hand you could get something ok.
Personally I'd see if you can find any of the boardman singlespeed/fixed's around. As they are good bikes for a similar price. Altho I think they are now discontinued.
The other thing to consider is the frame. Parts wearout, and get changed according to preferences, so go for the best frame you can get.
Fuji track is also a good option for this reason.
Fuck off. There is nothing constructive about this forum.
