I'm making up a list of tools to take on the bike and wondered if it is all metric?

The majority is metric, but there are some SAE fasteners. Torx size 30 is the most common one, so you might want a few different types of drivers and bits for that at a minimum.

Almost like having a British bike of the late 60's/early 70's - whitworth,SAE, British Standard. Just get a metric adjustable!

Most of what you'll deal with, on the road, is metric.
Carry a T-30 and a T-27.
Have 1/2, 9/16, 8/10/11/12/14/15mm.
Carry a Bondhus Ball L-wrench kit(metric).
Gotta have: Channel-Lock, Vise-Grip, Crescent Hammer(8 or 10").
Phillips 1&2, Pozi and Slotted screwdrivers.

I think all the SAE bits you are really likely to need can be covered with a 5/16th hex drive.

The bike is mostly metric.
