I'm looking for suggestions on the best price-to-performance GPU under £500 to pair with my Ryzen 5 5600X. I initially thought about getting a 5070, but I've heard mixed reviews about its value. I generally prefer RTX graphics cards, though.

Keep your eyes peeled for sales! I saw a deal last week for a 9070XT OC going for £350 on Amazon during Prime Day. Those types of deals can disappear quickly, so it's a bit of a waiting game to snag the right card.
You might also want to consider options like the RX 6700XT, 6800XT, or even the 3070 or 3080 from the RTX lineup. These could fit within the budget depending on where and when you shop.
If you're okay with purchasing used, you can find a 7900GRE for around £400 on eBay. It pairs quite well with the 5600X, offering performance between the 4070 and the 5070, and it can be overclocked and undervolted effectively.
The RTX 5070 is currently priced around £670 on Newegg, which translates to about £500 after conversion. That said, it seems to be a decent option, but keep in mind the price differences between regions could affect what you ultimately pay. However, its performance is strong enough to consider it for your build.
Honestly, the 5070 is a solid choice. If you're willing to look at AMD options, the RX 9000 series might offer slightly better value in specific cases. Still, the 5070 is a reliable GPU.
