Documents for use in the United Kingdom
Apostille or remote notary?
The United Kingdom has been in the Apostille Convention since 24 January 1965, according to Wikipedia's list of parties. That means a U.S. public document headed there usually carries an apostille, not an embassy legalization, though the office receiving it decides.
If you are signing from the United Kingdom, a video notarization with us still needs a U.S. connection, such as U.S. property or a U.S. court or agency matter. See apostille services for documents going the other way.
Embassy option
The U.S. embassy in London
The U.S. Embassy is in London. Wikipedia's list of U.S. missions also shows consulates in Belfast, Edinburgh and Hamilton in Bermuda.
How a video session runs is covered once, on the hub page. For what a consular post can do, read the State Department's notarial services page.
This is not legal advice, and the United Kingdom's own rules are outside what we know. The office that receives your document can say what it accepts.
