I've been using Trading212 for years. Excellent. Clean and simple interface on both desktop and app.
You can buy UK, US and stocks from most of the World. ISA them if you want. ETFs available.
Only fee I've ever incurred is a tiny 0.15% currency exchange fee for when I'm buying US stocks.
You can buy a fraction of a share for companies that have big stock prices like Berkshire Hathaway.
Free share link below, obviously you don't have to use it.
Do you want to get free shares worth up to £100?
Join Trading 212 Invest with my link, and we will both get free shares.

I use both Interactive Investor (monthly fee) and AJ Bell, who charge you a 0.25% fee (annual) for the shares/funds you hold. I find ii are cheaper if you hold larger investments (especially in a SIPP), but AJ Bell are cheaper for smaller share accounts.
Share trades cost £9.95 and fund trades are £1.50.
im aware that others offer much cheaper trade costs but I’m also aware that some have much wider spreads, meaning the share price you actually buy (sell) for may a a couple of percentage points higher (lower), so check that out before committing.

HL gives the widest choice of any platform, they also can buy and sell at slightly better prices. However they are expensive on pure dealing costs and holding costs for some equities.
When running an investment club we used NatWest Stockbrokers who moved us to TD investing. I would not advise either of them.
One of my ex-students works in HR @ AJ Bell and she loves them.

I’m having problems transferring funds into it from HSBC - might have to call the bank.
Just be aware that Revolut are not a bank so FSCS protection does not apply. I'm not sure what their share holding protection is, I assume they are independently held but it's worth finding out. I know their crypto never used to be and it was just a number on an account but I believe you can withdraw it now which means they must hold some crypto. They might not hold enough if everyone wanted to withdraw even if they are supposed to (that's something that plenty of crypto exchanges have tried to pull).

instead of the 100k you are trying, you have to get passed the banks algorithm of safe transfers to 'new' places so try splitting it up 4.9k first , then 9.9k , then shove the 85k in last. should work

Eventually got this sorted using your link.
As a test I put in £200 and got free shares of £20 - did you get something?
Am I right in thinking the £100 free is dependant on how much you deposit ?
Happy to put in another £800 for us both to have benefit
