Apologies if the wrong forum...


Just wondering if any of their shops are still open, especially in the London area...

    There's one in Selly Oak, Birmingham. No help if you need close to London, but answers your question.

    Thanks all... I'll phone around tomorrow. My local branch in Croydon closed a week or so ago and there is a sign saying the nearest is Sutton. But I'm guessing that might have closed by now also.


    You'd think it would be worth maintaining a one page website listing which are still open/and or closing dates.

    The one near St Pauls was still open - unless it closed over the weekend. Stock was starting to get sparse.

    Beware before you travel I went into ours on Friday, still open, but only the butt end of the remaining stock. Absolutely nothing worth taking left.
    Only two guys in there and they said they'd probably shut this week as I was the first one in and it was about 2pm...
    Best give them a ring first if you want something specific.
