In reply to obi-wan nick b:
I've got a London Road which I use as a winter road bike and occasional gravel bike. I can't say I love it, but I bought it as a cheap bike that I wouldn't need to worry about and it's fulfilled that brief very well. Worth adding that I only bought frame/forks and built the bike up from bits I had lying around.
If you're looking to buy brand new from Planet X, I'd definitely consider getting something from another brand second hand, you'll get a lot more bike for your money. It's amazing how many good quality bikes there are for sale that have only ever done a handful of miles.
