Whilst looking up something, I stumbled upon the following links that you may find useful. Several are from the Royal Horticultural website, plus some others:

Specifically on spuds

Other RHS reports:

Looked interesting, esp if you live near Kent

A bit detailed, but if you're after something specific (like drought resistance, or Cooking type), just click on the characteristic, then click on the item you want on the next page and it will show you the varieties:
