Are you flying the B737 800? If so the maximum fuel you would want to land with is 5400kg total to avoid wing icing problems at destination with the sort of sector length you are talking about (AGP - UK). To allow for direct routes etc maybe a landing fuel of 5000kg is a good planning figure. Burn + 5000 + taxy, making suitable adjustments for max take off and landing masses.
