R0 is the expected number of cases directly generated by one case in a population where all individuals are susceptible to infection (quoting wikipedia)
I believe R0 is around 3
At the time of the lockdown I assume someone estimated how R0 broke down by activity in order to assess the impact of eliminating some activities in order to bring R below 1
Examples of activities could be 1) attending large gatherings 2) schools 3) grocery shopping 4) visting friends and family 5) hospitals 6) pubs & restaurants
I'm also interested in the estimated impact on R0 of hospitals lacking adequate PPE and testing facilities

You're right, the modelling, on which the UK government based its strategy, was done at Imperial College. You'll find some of what you want at
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf
you may have to look further around their website. When you just want to find a few specific things you still have to wade through a lot of stuff.
