New to Road - CX or Road Bike

So I've been riding MTBs all my life. Terrain was terrible, trails everywhere and I was young and reckless. Now though, I've been using my cheap MTB to commute in central London and love riding over taking public transport.
I have a budget of about £1400 but I honestly can't decide between a CX bike or road bike. It will be my first and while I've had a go on some road bikes (and hated the drop bars / brake system) I can't tell if it is suitable for me.
I'd like an all year round bike only for commuting. Disc brakes are a must. Reason why I'm conflicted is because I'm still slightly "reckless". I'll hop onto pavements, take a canal towpath (not bumpy at all, regents canal) etc.
What I'm looking for really is something faster than my 13.6kg MTB yet comfortable. Any suggestions?
