UK influencers: 978 Instagram creators with measured engagement (2026)

This page lists 978 Instagram creators whose bio names the UK, with the follower count, engagement rate and median Reel views we measured for each one. Virev's crawler read their profiles and recent posts between August 18, 2026 and October 6, 2026. The median creator here has 18,072 followers and an engagement rate of 2.46%, which is below the 2.56% median across the 30 lists in this series and ranks 18th of 30.

Creators in UK by follower count

Micro accounts (10K to 100K followers) are the largest group, at 408 of 978 creators, or 42%. Nano creators get the highest median engagement rate, 4.08%, against 1.29% for macro creators, so a typical nano post draws 3.2 times the response per follower. Reach grows with size, and the median macro creator's Reels get 818,432 views, against 1,932 for nano creators.

20 high-engagement creators in UK with 10K to 100K followers

These are the 20 creators with 10,000 to 100,000 followers and the highest engagement rates on the list. The median across all 408 creators in that range is 1.85%, and all of these 20 reach at least twice that. We left out one creator whose average post got more likes and comments than the account has followers, because one viral post sets that average. We also left out 184 creators with no measured Reel views, or whose average likes and comments beat their median Reel views, since we could not check their rate against reach. A high rate can also come from comment prompts, so open a few recent posts before you reach out.

What creators in UK post about

The most common profile category is Digital creator, on 121 accounts (12% of those with a category), followed by Books and reading with 26. The category is the one the creator or Virev's profile reader set, so treat it as a starting filter.

How we built this list

1. We started from 39,669 individual Instagram creators with at least 1,000 followers and 6 measured posts, read by Virev's crawler between August 18 and October 7, 2026. Brands, media pages and businesses are not on the list.
2. A creator is on this page when their Instagram bio or display name names the UK, such as a city, a region or a flag, and the country in their Virev profile does not name another country. We removed accounts that name the place only inside another account's handle, an email address, or a team or event name, such as a baseball club or a marathon.
3. The engagement rate is average likes plus comments on the 6 to 12 most recent feed posts, divided by followers at the read.
4. Median Reel views is the median play count of the creator's last 12 Reels, and it shows n/a when fewer than 3 Reels had a play count. 498 of the 978 creators have one.
5. These 978 creators were read between August 18, 2026 and October 6, 2026, and follower counts move after that, so check the live profile before you send an offer.
6. The page shows public profile numbers only, with no emails or phone numbers.
