This may be a bit late , but Bletchley Park didn't want to know about
Colossus - that's why it was built at Dollis Hill by the Post Office boys !
See the current issue of Electronics World ( a.k.a. Wireless World ) for
the low-down on the snooty Oxford Logic brigade.

As we are in the planning phase Id' interested if anyone knows if
there are any computer museums (or similar things of interest) in
these locations.
If you're in London around a weekend, you could do much worse than
travelling a bit out and visiting Bletchley Park, which was the site of
the WW2 British code-breaking effort. And they even have a computer
museum on site :)

events; these are often worth looking out for.
