I'm afraid that these days, virtually ALL our trade is mailorder and 
show sales; Orc's Nest used to stock a selection from us, but they 
haven't reordered for a couple of years now so anything they have 
left will be rather old stock.... :-/

What actual dates are you in London? On the 26th Feb we are at a show 
in Tunbridge Wells (well, actually in neighbouring Southborough, but 
it's the Tunbridge club's show) - that is not far south of London and 
might be reachable for you!

Just a heads-up on the idea suggested by someone that you have stuff 
mailed to your hotel - yes, we can do that, BUT note that you don't 
get the VAT subtracted if we do this, because we're not actually 
mailing the goods out of the EU but to a UK address. So you save on 
the shipping, but still have to pay the tax. Technically I believe 
you can try to reclaim it from Customs when you leave the country, 
but I think it may be complicated and probably not worth it for the 
small amount in question.

Have a good time over here!

PS: of course, if you have the time you're always welcome to come up 
and visit us at the workshop - we're about an hour and a half by car, 
North-East of London, but it is possible to do the trip by train and 
then bus if you don't mind the hassle of public transport!
