Looks like a steel-frame hybrid, partly stripped, and running as a single-speed.
Could also be a single-speed ’city bike’ from one of those lifestyle brands like PureFix or Retrospec.

If you are interested in the forums you will get up to the post amount easily. If you don't like bikes and talking about bikes, you might consider google image search or something like that but if you like bikes, welcome get involved with the many current and active threads going on in the various subforums that can be quite interesting and then post your pictures and whatever useful info.

There might be more info on the frame, stamped into it perhaps ... look under the bottom bracket and at the bottom front of the seat tube, perhaps.
To me it looks sort of like a mid-'8s to mid-'90s rigid MTB which someone has converted to SS

The real issues .... what are the bottom-bracket and headset dimensions, what is the rear dropout spacing. It could be 130 or 126 or 135 .... depends how old it is and whether the previous owner messed with it to convert it. Looks like a 3-piece BB/crank maybe .... (not very good pics but I am sure you did your best. Try more light.) If the headset and cranks bearings are okay ... great,. If not it probably takes any generic threaded BB (Unless it is French, or Italian, or Raleigh) but .... whether it is 68 mm or 73 mm matters (and a ruler can tell you that.)
What do you want to do with it?

The photos are very poor but it appears to be some relatively modern, entry level, city bicycle. The brazed-on seat post collar is typical of low end models, as are the rear brake cable stops on the underside of the top tube. It's equipped with U-brakes which, in conjuction with the aparent frame level, should put it into this century. The crankset looks like it may be a Shimano Tourney from earlier this century. Given your location, it's likely some UK chain store brand with which I'm not familar. Better photos may help.
