CEX are currently selling the not currently released or even announced PS4 Slim for £380.
Their Widnes branch has "4+" units in stock in branch, and there are two available to order online as of time of posting. I can't see any other branches with stock right now.
Widnes is about a 30 minute drive from Liverpool, where SIE have a headquarters and distribution center.
They will also buy one off you for £304 cash or store credit.
This suggests that much like people have been selling them on gumtree, others have been able to get hold of these consoles and flip them for a profit.
Edit: In case it wasn't clear, yes this is obviously an inflated price, they're hoping potential buyers are happy to pay over the odds to get it early (and some probably will).

They haven't sourced these from Sony directly. For those unfamiliar, CEX is a second hand goods store with branches in most UK towns and cities, specializing in entertainment/tech/questionable in store music choices and smells.
