Any lay away stores in London?

Because we were not spending xmas at home, this year I did not do a park hamper and pressies. We have 3 hols coming up so I would like to be able to budget for xmas present. Does anyone know of any London stores where you can pay for items and collect when its finished paid for. Budgeting week by week. I would like a ps3, 2x DS, TV and a few other bits. I can only find bright house, but they let you take the things stright away and you end up paying 3-4 times what they are worth.
Any suggestions?

    I hadn't though of that. That's a great idea, seeing as I would be able to shop around and get a good deal. I will pop in my local one and see if I can open one.
