Ok, for American bacon you want pancetta (Tesco has a nice dry aged smoked one) or go to the polish shop and buy smoked baczek in a slab and cut it yourself.
UK streaky bacon and back bacon is not made from pork belly like US bacon is.
You will not get any fat rendered out in UK bacon so sorry southern ladies... unless you buy the pancetta or baczek, then you can fill your jars with wonderful bacon grease.

UK streaky bacon is made from pork belly...it looks just like American bacon. You can even get it smoked.
Side bacon, or streaky bacon, comes from the pork belly.[9][1] It has long alternating layers of fat and muscle running parallel to the rind.[9][12] This is the most common form of bacon in the United States.[9]
It's not cured the same so it takes a bit of extra fat in the pan to cook well.
