I haven't bought one either, but I was looking around before Christmas.
There are dedicated sites based in the UK like Modmypi and Pimoroni,
where you can get the boards with a wide selection of accessories, or a
bundle like this one:

They probably pay more taxes (proportionally) than Amazon. I think one
of these would be my first choice if I do buy one.
You can get them in Maplin, but I think the one I visited had large &
pricey kits. On the website, they have the boards by themselves at
~10-20% over what you'd pay elsewhere.

The Pi 3 is the only one (so far) with built in wifi, but if you can get
an older board significantly cheaper, there are little USB wifi dongles
which work with them.
