I was surprised by the lack of ideas for a British bike builder who is making classic, well designed looking street bikes.

Not really what I'm after...many of the bikes that Mission are doing 'looks' wise are what I'm after, straight or bull bars, single speed styling but with 8 speed hub although I might go single speed if I can be convinced it's all a man needs to ride a bike.
I see from on the forum pictures many people build their own commuter single speeds but I don't have the time or components hence looking for a nice shop, builder who's producing clean, simple bikes.

I thought there might be a few small quality shops in the UK doing nice single/fixed/8 speed city style bikes.

I live in Henley so will be riding around town, to the gym, maybe the odd river ride.

I'd like to spend between £500 and £1000

I'm looking for a new bike, I'd like something that is fairly light, well made, 8 speed hub and looks nice. I came across https://www.missionbicycle.com/ via Instagram and really like the look of some of their models, but with them being based in the US the $200 delivery is a bit much. Also I always like to buy British if I can.
Based on this can anyone recommend a company or builder for me to look at?

I'm keen to get back in the saddle and instead of burning money on a new bike would prefer to buy secondhand, ideally a good frame/fork combo then upgrade the rest as and when.
I'm really keen to get a single speed and loving the look of the Leader Kagero frame, think I've fallen in love from following Tim Kau on Instagram (http://instagram.com/tim.kau)
So does anyone have anything similar? Barebones that I could get going with?
Budget is up to £500 and I'm based in Berkshire but happy to travel for the right bike.
Thanks
James
