Focalpoint near Warrington, 5 mins off the M56 is very good.
Martin Mere also has InFocus...but they do not stock Leica products.

Thanks everyone these are very helpful.
I want to look at as many scopes as possible as I'm only buying one so I want it to be the right one!
I've read a lot of reviews and posts here too and am interested in the Kowa 823 and Leica 77 at the moment although have had some bad reports about their after sales service which is a bit off putting??
I'll try them all out on a miserable day and see what feels the best!!
Thanks again,

The Kowa is quite a bit lighter in weight than the Leica (which an old design now), this could be the main factor in choosing.
