"Street date" is today, so none of them should have had it on the shelves before today. That doesn't really answer whether or not retailers in the UK actually have it, but it does mean that they couldn't have had it for sale before today.
Quite a few vendors in Toronto had theirs last week.
My local store still hasn't been able to get AD2. It didn't arrive with the class decks and character add-on, and when I asked after it a couple of weeks ago they couldn't order it. Most online shops I've checked seem to be out of stock too.

Unfortunately, we have little visibility into international distribution timelines. Most of the overseas distributors use consolidators within the US—that is, a US location that takes all the stuff they order from a bunch of manufacturers and bundles it together into a single shipment. This saves them money, but introduces a big time variable, as stuff may wait around at the consolidator until they have enough to ship overseas. And once it gets there, it also has to clear customs, which sometimes happens quickly, and sometimes slowly.
All I can tell you is that we ship to international distributors (or their consolidators) at the same time we ship to other distributors.
In my experience, UK availability tends to be 1 week after US - so hopefully this time next week.
Tempest Rising just showed up on the distributor's release sheet for December 1st, so it should be available in UK shops around the middle of next week.

My FLGS have just said they're expecting it in next week (usually Tuesday)
