THe Dollar is strong right now making a trip to the US more expensive than ever. Also it's all about $$. People in the US have more $$ typically. Business budgets etc. No different than why r/t tickets from south America are cheaper if you originate in South America.

Important notes ...
Despite the published 25Oct deadline, I'd suggest those who are interested in it book it quickly.
There is an accompanying I- fare series around for about 1700 GBP.
Code:
Category 2: Day/Time restrictions OUTBOUND - PERMITTED TUE/WED/THU ON EACH TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR. INBOUND - PERMITTED MON/TUE/WED ON EACH TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR. Category 3: Seasonal restrictions PERMITTED 09JAN 23 THROUGH 31MAR 23 FOR EACH TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR. Category 15: Sales restrictions RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE ON/BEFORE 25OCT 22.

SJC is also available even though SFO is not. Very good fare. Wish I could take advantage but I need basically this fare a bit later in the year.

It's also correct that the BA Chase or AARP discounts only work for ex-USA tickets so it wouldn't work for this case.
If you wish to pay in USD, you could use a travel agency based in the USA that could charge this itinerary in the USA or call the BA US line and ask the itinerary to be priced in USD.

Mexico City says hi for £2,442, this rate was also available to MEX back in early September...
Google Flights
These fares credit VERY nicely to Alaska as they are in A class which credit at 250% EQMs and 450% for A class in RDMs so a base member would earn 27705 RDMs and 49869 EQMs so with a few Alaska segments you would get oneworld Ruby status.
