I've heard John Radcliffe near Oxford is good, echo St.Marks. You say you live in Europe, I had excellent surgery at Bellvitge in Barcelona, all their colorectal surgeons have had experience at St.Marks, in Tarragona there is an American surgeon Monica Millán with huge knowledge.
Prof Sagar in Leeds is very good. He receives referrals from all over the UK for all things pelvic surgery related including ileoanal pouches. He has done pouches for a couple of very famous people as well so that says a lot!
+1 for the surgical and clinical teams at the John Radcliffe (& The Churchill in Oxford). Used to be headed by Prof. Neil Mortensen who like Sagar above has done operations on various celebs with UC/Crohns, though I think he has retired in the last few years. He did my emergency subtotal colectomy and the rest of his team did my J-pouch and the other ops that I had.
I've also heard of St. Mark's in London being good, it was at St. Mark's that Sir Alan Parks pioneered the J-pouch in the mid/late 1970's
