Scottish airspace query

Hi all. Was operating TCX 583L Her-BFS last night and began descent routing direct 'Nelbo' from around the 'Halif' position at our usual descent point under London auspices, transferred to Scottish 129.1 and then to Scottish 123.775. Nothing unusual there until we asked for descent below approx FL200 when the controller informed us that in order to remain inside controlled airspace we would have to wait approx another 2 minutes. Eventually we were cleared below FL200 and transferred to Aldergrove at around BEL R110/45D, roughly 6000 ft high on the ideal profile.

Having flown the route many times before and not had this particular problem could someone enlighten me as to any changes that may have taken place causing the situation?

Thanks
