I checked some Ichneumonidae of UK, but did not find a reasonable match. Personally I do not think this is Ichneumon molitorius. This one should have white antennae part and yellowish femurs:

Just to show you the complexity of only Ichneumonidae in UK:

Key issue would be white spot on the head, colors of the femurs, tibias and feet (!), antennae color. A tremendous variability!!
My closest guess/hint would be: Cratichneumon sicarius, without being that confident, colors are somehow different...
I admit I have to capitulate, wasps are not really my business...
Just a few other links to compare:
