Which solicitors/conveyancers?!

Hi there,
At long last, I've found a house and have had an offer accepted. Now the hard work starts!
The estate agent says they'll take it off the market once I've sent over my conveyancer details.
I was given an agreement in Principle of a quote from the solicitors suggested by London and Country. Do I have to use them? I imagine not, but they do have vouchers to cover us if things fall through.
Also, I imagine it's helpful to have your solicitors and broker/lender singing off the same hymn sheet to make the process and smooth as possible?
But I've seen that I could save £600+ by going with other solicitors.
Feel pressurised because the estate agent's asking for their name by the end of the day.
Help appreciated.
