was this the ISS?

Yesterday evening (Friday) at just after 8pm, I was in my garden and
saw a very bright object (as bright as Venus) moving E-W. It passed
almost directly overhead, and went into eclipse just after passing
through Andromeda, at an altitude of about 45 degrees.

Was this the ISS?

I'm puzzled, because the only other time I've ever seen it, back in
2000, it was a golden colour, and this time it was almost white. Also,
I didn't think the ISS could ever be overhead at my latitude (51
degrees N).
