There is much of a Chevaline, an upgrade to Polaris, in the Museum of Berkshire Aviation [1] which is near Reading, about 50 miles west of London. They also have some of the navigation systems, such as gyroscopes you can get a good look at.
I find the level of engineering fascinating, it's not often you get to see such detail close up.
I took a few photos[2] when visited about 10 years ago. Being a small museum it's quitehiggledy-piggledy but they also have a range of unusual exhibits such as a model of the Miles M.52 and a real Fairey Jet Gyrodyne.
