For anyone who might be interested in visiting Bletchley Park where Turing worked during the war - make your way to London and just hop on the tube to Euston station. From there it's thirty minutes north to Bletchley by train. Once you leave the railway station, walk straight until you have to go left or right - go right for a minute and the house is directly across the road from what I remember.
Along with the main house open to the public, there is a hut dedicated to Alan Turing, Ian Fleming and co and the National computing museum is housed to the north east of the park where tours are offered twice a day.
The Colossus Mark 2 (rebuilt by Tony Sale from the video) is on show at the museum, along with others like the first million dollar computer and so on, though the Bombe rebuild didn't seem to be on display during the summer.
Few pics of the museum to whet your appetite: http://www.flickr.com/photos/70362781@N03
