I have recently moved back from the States where all of my stained glass supplies were in abundance and easily available. However I am struggling to find a supplier of the H and U shaped leading for my stained glass projects. Any ideas where I might find it, and advise a website. Many thanks

Welcome back! There are stain glass suppliers in the UK, but they might be hiding their light under a proverbial bushel... Creative Glass Guild in Bristol sell stained glass lead came in all shapes and sizes - including edging. Creative Glass in Rochester, Kent are renowned for their stained glass art supplies, but I haven't been there so can't personally recommend. Both do mail order, if you're not close enough. Just Google them and you'll find them easily.
Good luck finding your feet again - it's all those networking contacts and suppliers that take so long to build up again.
