This is the L169, Planetcatfish is pretty good for info on bottom dwellers, how to keep them and what to feed.

Try looking at L204 Flash pleco. they can just about take the london tap water. most others will struggle with the hardness

If you want a vegetablarian, then the bog standard BNs will be OK in London tap, although they may not breed (I have two males in a 240L, which I'm actually quite glad of- I don't know what I'd do with the babies). I happen to think they're rather handsome, with their mottled brown bodies and curly tentacles. Line bred varieties are available if you like them, and there are some similar species which have different and rather pretty patterns, but I don't know if they're as tolerant of our liquid rock.

BNs don't eat plants, in fact most of the vegetarian plecos are plant safe, they want algae, algae wafers, and fresh fruit and veg. Really delicate plants might get nibbled, and if they're covered in algae you might find the outer layers of the leaf scraped away (but the algae would be more of a concern honestly). They're not like goldfish or Silver Dollars which will mow down all but the toughest plants. Your main problem will be them accidentally uprooting things as they dig a hole under their favourite bit of wood, or bumble about at night knocking into things (and that will be more of an issue with the big ones rather than BNs).
