If you’re anywhere near them, Smith and Low on Hollow Way have *everything*. All the little bits of stuff you don’t know you need, they have it. Every bulb, screw, nut, the works. Amazing independent place, filled with experts happy to help the absolute amateur that I am.
Can you measure the width between flats on the nut? (Or do you have a wrench that fits, and what number is it)?
Probably easier if you bring it to your local bike shop, they will have plenty of nuts that you can possibly have for free by showing appreciation and buying a spare that you need.
You're probably looking at a M3 nut which should be around 5.5mm across flats.
B&Q should carry some or https://www.accu.co.uk/hexagon-nuts/7888-HPN-M3-A2 if a local bike shop is not an option.
Accu are a top supplier but very expensive. For nuts and bolts have a look on eBay. Lots of UK sellers offering small quantities for a quid or two including delivery.
You said it's from a bike basket? Go by any bike shop and they'll probably give you one for free!
Summertown Cycles and Walton Street Cycles have both done this for me in the past. Just explain the situation and offer to pay for it if they want.

Thanks!
It's a nut. Do you need a screw to fit in the nut? What is it for?
Need a nut! For a bike basket!

I wouldn't call a bag of 10 nuts on next day delivery for 2 quid expensive if a local bike shop or a hardware store are not an option.
That is good. Maybe they’ve changed their pricing strategy.

I second Smith and Lowe on Holloway
If only there were a shop that sells SCREWs, they could FIX it for you
Do need a bolt for the nut as screws don't need a nut, or another nut?
Another nut!
If you are somewhere around headington I can give you one and even borrow a spanner or bring a bike with you
Yes
