PC/Gaming Hardware Store In London?

I moved from Vancouver to London and apparently PC parts stores don't seem to be much of a thing here. There was NCIX and Memory Express that I could go to in Vancouver, but in London its basically online or having to deal with 'PC World's Gaming Bunker' for anything halfway decent. Anyone living in London have any suggestions of where to go?

 

Thanks!

London England - wish I was still in Canada. Cheaper and better access to hardware

Yeah but at the same time our dollar sucks ass, so things cost a crazy amount more.

True, it was always shit to compare take between the US and Canada. However anything is better than a 22% tax

Everything, its basically all across Europe - but its included in the price so you tend to forget about it. The one upside to that is if something says it will cost £4.50, it will be £4.50
