Amex Blue. No fee and 2% cashback for the first 3 months; thereafter 1%. On
your spend of £2k a month you'll make £300 a year in cashback.

Another option would be sugn up for a Mint card which does 0% on purchases
for 9 months IIRC. Pay the 3% minimum every month, then deposit the £1940
difference in a savings account and collect interest.

Over 9 months you'll accumulate a balance of about £15,500 after allowing
for paying 3% of the increasing balance. The interest will be 4.5/12 x 4% x
0.60 = £140. And I think you also get 0.5% cashback.
