Edit: Turning this thread into a Travel Blog. 
I’m going to the UK for two weeks (Sept 21 to Oct 4)!
We’re renting a car and will be driving around all over the place including, London, Cardiff, Conway, York, Nottingham and Norwich.
I’ll definitely be visiting Warhammer World, but I’d love to hear about other really cool niche spots to check out: historical, cultural, whatever!
Also, if you live nearby, let me know if you want to meet up for a pint or something. 
DO drive on the correct side of the road!! GW HQ and/or anywhere that’s got some epic terrain. Bonus points of you find some Chaos Dwarfs for us!
I wonder, are there any really nice non-GW Warhammer shops? There must be, right?
I still need to do some research.
I don’t know the exact location of where the shop and workshop are… But top of my list for a number of years has been to try to figure out how to visit White Well Arms. I think he kind of flies under the radar these days as he’s mostly doing ‘hero’ weapons for the film & TV industry… but his stuff is mind blowing. I contacted him about commissioning something a while back, but didn’t hear from him. Probably he has enough business and clients with deeper pockets!!
I live in Norwich! It’s a wonderful city 
where to begin?
All of the above can be enjoyed in a day or two, and there’s lots I haven’t mentioned besides. If you’re around for longer I can suggest day trips around the area. And, if you fancy a pint/guided tour or gaming session, hit me up 
Depends what you guys like to do, York has all the touristy stuff like the castle walls and the shambles, the railway museum is pretty good if you like trains. North of York you have the North Yorkshire moors and Nidderdale which are good for walking, scenery and places like Fountains Abbey. East of York you have Filey, Whitby (see the whole Dracula thing), Robin Hood’s Bay and Bempton (think the Puffins will have left by then) and various seaside towns which are nice.
There are loads of stately homes around if you like that sort of thing, lots of quaint towns. I’m over in Leeds, tons to do here as well but is obviously a drive and consumes more time.
Other people can probably give you better pointers for the other areas, I suppose it depends how touristy you want to be and if you’ve been before
Wow, thanks for the very generous write-up, very thorough! I’ll take it all to heart! We’ll be in Norwich on October 2/3.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll check them out. Much appreciated! 
2:00pm local time. Current mission is to stay awake, running on only a few hours of sleep, until at least 9 or 10 pm to overcome the jet lag.
Food time!
Managed to stay up until 10pm.
Visited some recommended spots by @Baggronor !
More of London tomorrow!
Any plans on going to Orcs Nest near Tottenham Court Road? It used to be good, but I haven’t been for 15 years and it looks like they have more board games than models in the recent photos of the store.
Might check it out today, yep!
I’m hearing it’s a good store, but might not have any second hand stuff anymore.
Checked out the Orcs Nest, bit they have almost no Wargaming at this point. I did find some cool Gravestone sprues by Renedra though, so that’s a win!
Also went to Element Games and found Dead Animal Bits for sale! Happy to save the cost of shipping on these.
I also saw some Earthshaker Cannons.
Started feeling a bit sick on the drive to Cardiff. Slept for 15 hours when we got there.
Still managed to see a few things though.
If you get any chance to, go to the armoury at Leeds. It’s huge.
