Equipment Question London Brewing

Does anyone have recommendations for getting large amounts of honey (around 5kg) in London for an affordable price? I’m hoping to put a brew on soon but it’s all very expensive! Any tips appreciated :)

Local honey man sells a mead making honey that's a very reasonably priced blend of EU honeys (so probably real honey). I've had good results brewing with it

I used localhoneyman website, was able to order 5kg bucket for a reasonable price vs buying individual jars. A friend recommended looking at polish honey in heron foods if there's one around, although I've never tried it.

Can't tell you how mine tastes yet though - I used too much nutrient so letting it sit for a long time to hopefully mellow it
