Budo shop in London

As I will be over in the UK next week I was just wondering if anybody could suggest a good budo supplies shop... It would have to be located somewhere in the centre, because as I'm over there to work I will not have very much spare time to drive around looking for shops... We will be situated somewhere near Regent Street/Covent Garden most of the time...

Looking for good weapon bags, Gi or Iaido jackets... Or anything else I need to take back home :D

There's one small Martial Arts shop close to those areas (actually just outside and round the corner from Leicester Square tube). It's called
Shaolin Way (http://shaolinway.com/).

It's been there a long time, but as for quality -- well, as a policy they won't stock any Fudebakudo (http://www.fudebakudo.com/) (you have to go to the Sports Department of Foyles bookshop, just up Charing Cross Road for that). :)

Thanks for your tip! I will see if I find some spare time to do some shopping!
As for the Fudebakudo book - I remember finding the 31 Jo Kata years ago on the net, still find it incredibly funny! So good to know that there's a book! :D
