Hey Oronare!
Of course, you must know that there are Surly dealers located within the UK. Both the Surly Crosscheck and the Surly Pacer would be excellent choices that will quite easily accept fenders, racks, or a wide range of tire sizes. They are both road/touring bicycles.
The
Crosscheck comes in two separate color choices:
