All the IP addresses Google provides to GCP users are registered in the Google HQ in Mountain View, California. Thus, all geolocations lookup of the IP addresses will resolve to the United States even though the actual server is located somewhere else (in your case UK). This explains why you get USA sites when you browse inside the server. This is currently a known issue and you can track the progress of the defect report here.
