How to pronounce Moscow

Recently, I noticed that British people pronounce Moscow differently than I had thought, and been taught in school. The correct British pronunciation is [‘mɒskəʊ], with the first part pronounced just like moss. However, -cow is not pronounced like the word cow. Instead, the -ow in Moscow is pronounced like the -ow in low or grow.
