The other day I was in the UK and was near Hemel Hempstead and thought why not stop in the Kent Brush shop. It was not quite what I expected but they had their brushes out on display and would sell them. I expected a bit more of a retail shop but It was more like offices with some brushes out for sale. I don't know if I would make a special trip there, but if you are near and would like a brush it might be worth the stop.
