Ok I have had a look and from what I can see there are not really many options. I tried looking for boards which were:
>A) 75% - 100%
>B) prederably not Keychron
>C) minimum left hand side utility keys/switches
>D) readily available to the UK
>E) ISO
>F) under £180
>G) backlit
With all of this in mind the only boards I could find were Keychron or way above £180 on small batch run sites. Stuff like XT layout was my first idea to look around for but they don't really compare to Lemo or Nuphy in terms of styling and were almost exclusive to group buy only. I also found southpaw layouts which placed a numpad to the left for side buttons but, again, I don't really think it really compares to the syle of Lemo or Nuphy and ontop of that most were made by Keychron. I went to some of the biggest 9 different UK/EU mechanical keyboard sites I knew of and had no real luck in finding anything and some of the more reputable sellers on Aliexpress didn't really have anything either.

I think with what you are looking at you are better off looking at the Lemo L1 or L3 as Keychron sells them with free UK shipping and have QMK firmware which makes them far more versatile. Nuphy does not have QMK compatibility as far as I am aware which means it uses a proprietary board software that, if something was to go wrong, would be very difficult to troubleshoot or rectify. The Nuphy also seems to use HE switches which in all honestly are not all that great. If you are still concerned about styling with an L1 or L3 you can always still swap out the keycaps later on which will transform it quite a bit even with a cheapish clone set.

As long as you have a keyboard with rubber feet or you have dedicated mat underneath you should be fine.
