Where to buy South Pacific Francs in the UK

I am travelling to French Polynesia in September and would like to know where I can buy South Pacific Francs (xpf) in London before I go. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

    Even if you could find them in the UK I expect the exchange rate would be terrible. I'd just wait until you got there. The rule of thumb with "minor" currencies is that it is always best to buy them locally as there isn't a sufficient supply or demand for them on the international markets.
