Hargreaves was actually my first investing account I opened around 11 years ago. It’s more traditional and seems less fintech - but it’s not a bad platform, not the best in the market. For a beginners, I’d consider etoro (top tip, deposit in dollars to avoid fx fee’s- this will save you 1.5% when you deposit ens the same withdrawing)
If you’re in it for the long haul, go with Ig - not the most simple, but something you can stick with for life

HL is great but can feel overwhelming at first - totally get that. If you just want something simple to start, Trading 212 or Vanguard are worth a look. Vanguard especially is brilliant for beginners - low cost, straightforward and they basically guide you towards simple index funds which is honestly all most people need. Once you get more comfortable you can always switch it up later. What sort of amounts are you thinking of putting in each month?
