Generally speaking, kudos to Moleskine for capitalizing on a mundane product & average quality but nothing beats japanese brands when it comes to fine paper. Also, you might give Whitelines[1] a whirl for scanning sketches.

Any recommendations?
Maruman Mnemosyne
e.g. http://www.jetpens.com/Maruman-Mnemosyne-Notebooks/ct/765
Any more suggestions? (That looks good but I'm hoping to find something I'd never heard of but readily available in the UK)
There's http://www.thejournalshop.com in the UK; not sure about their JP stuff. Midori might be a cheap choice but they're turning more and more into a Moleskine-like brand.
Arches Paper from France is a personal favorite. Hot pressed, so it's smooth but not quite as smooth as Bristol, it still has some tooth for dry media
