SCAN had a physical store but I just the one, in Bolton. You're going to have a bad time getting any new gen card until the supply chain picks up again... unless you fancy picking one up for a 400% markup on eBay

You can try at Currys/Pc World but even before lock-down they had a quite limited selection.

Best approach would be to google for local computer shops or order online if you can't wait

Good luck buying a decent Gpu from anywhere at a reasonable price at the moment, the die shortages are crippling the entire industry. But there's loads of computer shops about, just Google it.

I know I'm on a stock alert discord group for the 3000 series

The UK gets like 10 GPUs a week

I get all my stuff from Novatech and have done since 2003, I order online but they do have a physical store as well. I managed to bag an RTX3080 Suprim X from them a couple of months ago, you'll know those are like rocking horse shit to get hold of worldwide at the moment!

Novatech has prices equivalent to eBay scalpers

Ebuyer is where it's at for online, but I can't beat bots

I've always found them reasonable, my RTX was at retail price and I had them build my custom PC a few years back which at the time was extremely high end for under £2000. Overclockers are more expensive than them and Alienware take the piss with their prices (their systems are stylish and decent though I'll give them that)

Yes another vote for novatech it's about 40 mins drive from me so I usually order online and pick up from the store and make it a day out to Portsmouth as well

You're asking the impossible. You've gotta know someone supplying crypto miners for a gpu these days

Even the physical stores in the US are struggling with supply, I'd think we have no chance

Novatech, scan or even a local computer shop can generally get them from suppliers fairly quickly

It was certainly easier to get an RTX3080 than it is to get a PS5, I'm still casually looking for one of those with no joy since November!
