Why do you figure it's for immigrants only? Just go to one of them and see. If you're worried about being ethnically excluded, go to an Antiochian parish. Out west, they tend to be full of converts, with much fewer arabs than you might expect. Antiochian orthodox are known to be especially welcoming to outsiders. I'm not greek, but the greek parish I attend has been incredibly welcoming, so there's that.

why do you think they will not receive you? I'm sure they will be legit interested in you. Maybe you will get the attention of that slavic qt.

I had a look at the Anglican church but it's logo is pink, it seems to be SJW as hell and everyone is over the age of 90. It's like the worst of all things combined.

I've emailed them yesterday night, they have an active website and community so I am going to see how they reply first.
Their website seems to be written in such a way "this day is for greek services…. this day for serbian…" etc. Makes you feel like it's all for expats

How can you expect to see young people when everyone either becomes an atheist or a heretic?
All we have now is progressive Christians and old people, we need young men like you to secure the future of our church, I must also tell you, please don't choose church for lifestyle.
There's no salvation inside the Orthodox church.

It's common for orthodox churches in the english-speaking world to use both english and their ethnic language. At my parish, during vespers/compline/orthros, they alternate between greek and english. I don't know any greek, but I can still follow along with the printout. I imagine in some places they use less english and more greek. I'm reading here that at Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church in Berkshire, there is an english service on the second Sunday of each month. That might be a worthwhile opportunity to go and see. I don't know what other parishes are around.

that's the guy I've emailed as I live near it.

Pardon me, I can't into geography. How close is Oxford? Looks like there are a few worthwhile parishes over there, like St Nicholas the Wonderworker

Seems very close - only costs 6-10 pound as well.
