Yeah, that's definitely a capability that the Brits have all on their own and needs to be considered. IIRC back during the Falklands war the Thatcher Government leaked information that they'd sent one of their SSBNs South, and the Black Buck missions were partly intended to show the Argies that the RAF could bomb their mainland if it wanted to.
With TLAM-C the RN now has a conventional, and relatively risk-free, option for hitting mainland targets from subs.
