Does anyone have any or know a place willing to ship to the UK?
I'd also take any other recommendations of similar but I would like fruit for my first plant and will look for more ornamentals in time.

Dwarf Cavendish or Dwarf Ladyfinger should work. The Dwarf Cavendishes will grow up to your ceiling and have purple spots on their leaves when they're younger, while the Dwarf Ladyfinger is shorter and produces the fruit that's small and plump.
