The wallet's not your problem. Sounds like you need a GDAX account.

GBP bank > gdax > your offline/hardware wallet.

Your Bitcoin wallet is primarily to store your private keys (think of them as your Bitcoin account passwords)

Your public key is like your account number anyone who knows your public key can see your balance, send you Bitcoin but not spend it. Only the person with the private key can spend it.

you want to use a wallet that secures your private keys and you need to back it up in case of loss.

Coinbase and Mycelium Wallet let you buy bitcoin, they take a small cut for the service.

I've only ever bought bitcoin Over The Counter something like https://localbitcoins.com/ or on exchange, one exchange I use that I think supports UK bank accounts is https://www.kraken.com/

You then send it to your public key address.
