In your described situation, GCHQ would term it internal and wouldn't legally be able to intercept it. As I understand it one of the server or end points have to be outside UK under their current legal interpretation to be declared external. Of course instead they'll just ask the US for the data, as it's external to them.

It is basically an end run around the legal authority they've been given in regards to domestic v. foreign surveillance capabilities. Realistically, the only way to secure things is to run your own privately encrypted VPN in which all data remains or use PGP. At least until the NSA and GCHQ can crack them.
