Buying A Microscope in London?

I want to buy a microscope as a gift. I don't have time to wait for it to be delivered so I need to be able to go into a shop in the real world and buy one. Not a toy (which I could get from Hamleys).

Anyone know who sells them?

Cheers,

Father Jack

Cool! Thanks da Booga. There's a shop near my work, so I'll check it out.

Maplin stuff is usually crap though.

You could also try the Widescreen Centre on Dorset St... they sell all sorts of optical stuff including microscopes.
