Why? To me it sounds very weird...
The "Uk leg" of the tour...
I just don't get it. Why would you use a body part for describing it?

In German it would sound really stupid " Das englische Bein der Tour"

The word leg doesn't only refer to the body part...

Leg sounds better than Arm, or Thigh, or Neck.
