22 shooting galleries are still legal, but I suppose the fact that you hardly ever see them these days should tell us that either their popularity has wained or that insurance premiums are so high or difficult to get that they just aren't viable any more. I do know that if you operate a .22 shooting gallery though, the rifles used on it are exempt FAC.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
