If you want to head into an Apple Store to buy your iPhone 6s, you can certainly expect to see queues and it's possible that the particular model you're after will be sold out, especially if you're visiting one of Apple's more popular stores.
If you want to buy your iPhone 6s  on contract rather than from Apple directly, you an expect to find them in retail branches of EE, O2, Three, Virgin and Vodafone.
From Saturday 26 September, you'll be able to reserve your iPhone to pick up in store, and Apple says that most stores will have the iPhone available for walk-in customers every day, so we expect regular deliveries are planned.
