http://www.dryicedirectory.com/ <- that lists places that sell Dry Ice including a few in the UK. Some of those places may also have LN2

See if there is any welding supply houses. They might be able to direct you to a place that sells LN2. I use one that sells all sorts of welding supplies and sells gases also one of them being LN2. ;)

For Dry Ice, I think these guys are great. £55 delivered (plus vat I think) for 2x10 kg bags, next day delivery.

LN2 in the UK has been hard to get and I gave up, but I'm pretty sure you'll need your own Dewar and you'll have to deal with specialty shipping.

As well, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to have a handing licence here in the UK, and that's not an easy process, but if you can find a good supplier you might be ok.

Cheers

you have to be vat reg and business i have had an account with them
for 10 years for welding gases and when i inquired about ln2 there were no
need for any licence
