Perhaps the IP is incorrectly identified as being from UK then. I've heard these databases can sometimes be outdated.

I don't think you can do anything about it aside from reporting this as error if they have such thing. Google does, for example, but they also try to estimate the IP country based on people's usage like searches and phone positioning.

I don't know if this could be relevant: https://developers.cloudflare.com/network/ip-geolocation/#report-an-incorrect-ip-location

Check what you get on, say https://browserleaks.com/ip
It will also check IPv6.
