Does anyone know where I can get some cactus/prickly pear in the UK?

Thanks!

Any chance you have a Hispanic grocery store? That's where I've seen it here in the U.S. Best of luck.

I would suggest a nursery or plant store looking for Opuntia ficus-indicus. In the UK you would to raise them as an indoor plant and harvest your own. They do grow in the Mediterrean.
