Geared bike for 5'5"ish £200-£250

Hi guys, looking for a modern'ish not girly road bike for one of my lady friends. She's 5'5" ish tall.
Looking for a London Pick up as she wants to try them out first before buying. Halfords sold her a bike that's really small 35cm bike a year ago and would love one that actually fits her. She's willing to pay at least £200-£250

Would she like something like this?

She can come and try for size.

Hey @Vince, I'll talk to her now and let you know

Cool, she's interested.. When can we check it out and where in Stoke?
