If 20lbs-ish is acceptable— and I suppose that would be a couple of pounds less than All-City options, which the OP referenced— then perhaps a Genesis Equilibrium with the carbon fiber fork option, would fit the bill. I don’t know what shipping might cost from UK, but rim brake, 105 groupset bike (and CF fork) prices out just under USD$3k.
