The last hop showed in the BGP route is AS60068 (cdn77) which is a Czech company with global physical network. It does not mean the data are going through GB, it's not that easy.

$ whois AS60068 [...] organisation: ORG-DL201-RIPE org-name: Datacamp Limited country: GB org-type: LIR address: 207 Regent Street address: W1B 3HH address: London [...]
In the era of relatively complicated company ownership structures (especially in a capital heavy business such as Datacamp), the company on the whois does have the same level of meaning as you seem to expect it to.

207 Regent Street, it's a relatively well known virtual office type address, I would be shocked to learn that there were any datacamp employees at that address)

Virtual office addresses don't help to make it better.
