If it were LHR-GLA-LHR, the differential between the lowest theoretical fares on those dates is £20, which could suggest that a £10 has been added on. But that seems unlikely, given that the agent categorically told you that there was no offline fee, and such a fee should have been visible to them.
Well diagnosed it was the LGW /LCY

Why do phantom fares persist?
