The error message suggests you are not in the correct region.
According to the AWS documentation you need to specify a zone. You do this with the option flag -z zonename. In your instance I think it would be -z eu-west-1, I am not familiar enough with the Amazon platform to confirm the zone.
According to further research in addition to specifying the zone you need to specify a region as well using --region. Again I am not familiar with the regions available, you would have to check these for your needs.
