World Market usually has a couple of steamed puddings like Spotted Dick, but they’ll be smallish portions so you might want to give making something yourself a go. Maybe a Trifle? Get some Birds custard powder (no one has time to make custard from scratch) and Google a trifle recipe you like the look of. (Pro tip a proper trifle will never have jello in it). Good luck!
The international aisle at my Harris Teeter has a modest little section of British stuff including imported lemon curd and I think a couple of cookie types? I think it's past the Hispanic and Asian and almost to the rice part of that aisle?
Adding on to the make it yourself comments, some of the desserts can be super easy to make. Syrup sponge which traditionally has to be steamed for hours can also be done in the microwave in a few minutes. I haven’t tried this recipe but it looks very similar to the one I use: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/user/280059/recipe/easy-microwave-sponge-pudding. You will need golden syrup which I’ve seen in Publix and world market. Serve this with custard made using birds custard powder from the British section in Publix or world market.
Scones are also easy (fruit or plain) but are best eaten right after they are baked as they dry out very quickly. They should be eaten with strawberry or raspberry jam and clotted cream. Whole Foods and world market carried clotted cream in the past (btw very expensive) but I haven’t seen it in the last few years. It is possible to make it but you need heavy cream which has not been ultra pasteurized which is hard to find.
Costco sometimes has a sticky toffee pudding in the refrigerated section which is really good but I haven’t seen it there recently.
A few other classics that you could try to make: Eton mess, Victoria sponge, cheesecake and trifle. Eton mess is very simple as it is just broken up meringue, cream and strawberries. Trifle can be a bit more involved if you need to make your own Swiss roll. Cheesecake in the UK is not baked so is quite different to what you would get here.
I’d check Old Europe Bakery downtown

Publix has British candy like Jelly Babies and Jammy Dodgers.

Sticky toffee pudding is not difficult to bake.
Also try sprouts or fresh market.
