For commuting in London steel would be an ideal material.
As per the store credit, I'd decide what I want and then chose (any) store for credit.
In your situation i'd lean towards OTPs over custom built.
But shops like Fitzrovia cycles stock a lot of used/NOS steel frames (Example). So you can get a steel geared bike built there.
