 Swap GBP for EUR using revolut 
 Nowadays I recommend Wise over Revolut. Revolut charges more hidden fees than Wise and Wise is super transparent over fees. I prefer transparency. 

On the other hand Revolut has native Bitcoin support (deposit and withdrawal as well as exchange feom and to fiat), but is a shitcoin Casino as well and actively promote shitcoins with their "learn" section. They give you shitcoins if you take sponsored lessions of shitcoins (attention economy).

When comparing KYC requirements between Revolut and Wise I can't hive an educated advise. 
 Revolut's "Bitcoin support" is just IOUs, you can't withdraw them. Pointless. But otherwise I agree with you, Wise is very transparent with fees, but very anti-Bitcoin, if they get a hint you are using your Wise account to buy Bitcoin, they won't hesitate to block you. 
 Use revolut just for fiat, my advice.

 please read again: he said P2P 
 My point is he can still use robosats as p2p exchange with high liquidity if he just swaps to EUR. There's no need to do swap GBP to EUR p2p since they're both permissioned fiat shitcoins. 
 Yeah, I was hoping to sell BTC to gbp directly; converting BTC to EUR and then to GBP seems like unnecessarily expensive but looks like it’s the only route 🤷‍♂️ 
 I see now it now, thank you 
 This. EUR seems to be the Schelling point. You could also do a SEPA payment to your UK bank account.
