The Flow hive uses Langstroth deep frames. There are UK beekeepers who use Langstroth hives, but they are the minority. Have you joined a local bee club? You might find somebody there who does use a Langstroth hive.

The other option is to get a nucleus on British National frames (these are standard in the UK) and just use cable ties to adapt them like this:

Easy! 😊
