For UK general elections (what we call elections to Parliament, our national legislature), the UK is divided into 650 constituencies, each of which elect one MP by FPTP. There is no party-list component.
The situation is different for other elections:
AMS is what we call MMP. Assemblies elected by AMS are composed of some single-member seats elected by FPTP which are then grouped into larger regions, each of which are allocated a certain number of seats to be used for the proportional component. These also use closed party lists, and is probably where the idea that our FPTP system is FPTP + party lists. It’s not: FPTP is exactly the same in the UK as it is in the US. If there’s any component on top of that, we call it AMS.
