No brainer, Legion 5 Pro 2021 model seems to be available in the UK for ordering (6+ weeks for shipping though), best panel (100% sRGB, 165Hz, HDR 400 certified, 2560x1600 IPS) and perhaps the best value gaming laptop you will find.
The base model, which is ok in terms of specs but you really should add a bit more:

And here is what you will get for an extra 300 pounds, which i highly recommend (click on customize on Lenovo website):

Just get a ROG zephyrus G14 and be done with it.

Not sure how laptops are priced in the UK (or wherever you live that uses pounds), but converting your price budget to USD, your limit seems to be around $2,400 USD. Currently, a Razer Blade 15 Advanced with an 11th Gen Intel i7-11800H 8 Core CPU, 16 GB DDR4 memory, 1 TB SSD, GeForce RTX 3060 (6 GB memory), and a 1440p 240 Hz display, I'm not exactly sure if it's 100% RGB, but it does have 100% DCI-P3, and I'm sure you can get it more color accurate if you calibrate it yourself (though, it seems pretty color accurate out of the box).

There's also a Razer Blade Pro 17, but I think it's a year older:

I'm also not sure if gaming is your number one priority, but if it is, or if it's up there, it's hard to not consider this. I was deciding over a Razer Blade Pro 17 and a Dell XPS 17, and even though the XPS only has up to 2060 Max-Q for now, I only went with the Dell because I personally didn't like the RGB aesthetics, and the 16:10 screen ratio on the XPS is just so sexy to me. Plus, I can get an i9 in the Dell, and generally I've had good experiences with Dell in the past. 

 

Here's my XPS 17 if you're interested, too, but it comes above your budget. I got a killer discount in the mail that was even better than Honey could find me, though sadly it doesn't seem like Honey can find anything right now. For context, mine has a 10th gen i9-10885H 8 Core CPU, 32 GB memory, 1 TB SSD, GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q, and the base 1920 * 1200p display. I'm not sure if the XPS 17 in the link I posted below has the base display or the 4K touch display, but both are only 60 Hz. This one is over $3,200 USD, and through my killer discount and through bundling with some accessories, I technically got this laptop for maybe ~$2,300 - ~$2,400, which I think is insane considering how much its going for right now.

Should be noted, too that the XPS, no matter the 17, 15, or even the 13, are much more color accurate and are more marketed towards video editing and other professional work. The 1650 Ti equipped XPS models seem to do alright in lower-demanding games, but the 2060 in mine seems to be handling Resident Evil 8 on 1200p (1080p for 16:10) high setting with Ray-tracing off pretty nicely.

 

Hope this helps.

Considering this person's budget is in pounds, they could probably afford the 3060 equipped G14, or even a 3070 G15 for that matter.

This. Probably check around. look for stuff that you like. UK has many markets(curry's computer etc). Look there. My recommendation would still be an ROG Zephyrus

The specs are looking nice TBH, how does it feel to use, the 15" Laptops feel horrible it feels just a bit to short to use keyboard and always miss the shift key.

It seems like the Razer is the best performer for your budget, so I highly recommend it if gaming is your #1 priority. I think you might be able to fit a keyboard and/ or mouse into your budget with the 15 inch Razer I recommended, though you might be at the edge/ slightly over your budget. 

 

Still, though, the Razer seems like the best investment if you especially want this gaming laptop to last you for years to come.

I've had hands on experience with it, but I don't own one (yet, due to availability issues where I am...). A colleague of mine got it recently and I've spent an afternoon using it, so my experience with it is limited, please keep that in mind.
Screen wise it is a 16" 16:10 aspect ratio screen, great for productivity like video editing (tracks at the bottom) or programming (console/debug output at the bottom) or anything else where you can vertically fit more content. For gaming in 16:10 you don't get much of an advantage compared to a regular 15" screen IMHO.
As for the keyboard I found it to have a nice feel to it, it is a full keyboard with numpad but it practically goes from edge to edge so the keys are pretty much normally sized:

LTT Video about Legion 5 Pro:

For size comparison, this dude compared it nicely to a 17" Strix:

I am currently using 17" Rog, man it is a PITA to carry (even though I go everywhere in my car, would be much worse if I used public transportation).
Don't get me wrong, Legion 5 Pro is not a thin and light, but it is a lot lighter and the space is a lot better used than on 17" laptops.
