There was a working GEC 2028 dual-standard colour TV in the Dulwich museum last time I visited (September 2019). It was seen working on both 405 monochrome and 625 colour. The museum usually has an annual Television Day when the vintage TVs are shown off, and visitors are invited to bring something from their own collection. Last year someone brought along a few 819-line TVs which were also seen working with an Aurora standards converter.
Mike Bennett in Solihull has a private collection of vintage TVs including an Ekco experimental colour set with round CRT. He usually has a get-together once a year when he invites enthusiasts to come along and see some of the collection, chat about old TVs and bring some sets or parts to swap with others. I've been a number of times - it's great fun!

Sadly the coronavirus has put all events on hold for the time being, but hopefully things will resume at some point.
