As you are based in London, UK' let me propose a slightly different alternative.

A 1 hour journey leads you to the The Center for Computing History in Cambridge [1]. Please go there and see for yourself and interact with the history of computing. You may also buy one of the maker kits to get started with [2].

I too have a similar keen interest and there are some fantastic volunteering opportunities to deep dive and learn about the history. [3]

And there was this awesome Gaming Generations Exhibition that just got over last week [4].

You could combine all this with other equally fantastic solutions proposed here (Ben eater's videos, Nand2Tetris) etc.

That hopefully makes for a fun, interactive way of satiating your good hunger :-)
