I've got a couple like that I bought to use as a travel-type container for my Chinese but I've never actually used them as I wanted something with a bit more depth for substrate.

I'm not good with bins in the UK so other members will likely advise you better. Good luck with finding some though
The most commonly recommended bins in the UK is the Ikea Samla:

SAMLA Box Transparent 78x56x43 cm/130 l - IKEA

Really Useful Box have some nice sturdy boxes in a variety of sizes, depending on what you want. The largest of which is 145L: Go Shopping - Really Useful Boxes - 145 litre Really Useful Box

They can be quite pricey for some of the larger sizes but I've used a couple of cheaper bins for cages in the past and nothing comes close on the quality.

Wham bins aren't too bad, although do not have a flat lid like the RUB's. Their largest is 110L: Go Shopping - Really Useful Boxes - 145 litre Really Useful Box
