You will be pleased to know that there are many shops in London which stock
ST software. Pretty well every software shop stocks ST stuff (the ST is the
most popular 16 bit micro in the UK at the mo.). I know for a fact that
there are at least 10 shops in the Tottenham Court Road area (including
Silica Shop/Systems and the Virgin Games Store)!

		Have fun with your ST, and have a nice trip!

Note that as the last time I was in London (for the Atari User Show)
Virgin Games Store had stopped stocking computer games.  They had been
moved to a spot in the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street nearer
Tottenham Court Road.  It also looked like the range they stocked had
gotten smaller, but maybe that's just because the Megastore is so much
bigger than the Games Store.  The advantage to the move is that it is
MUCH easier to find the Megastore than the Games Store.  The disadvantage
is that once you're in the Megastore, it's painfully difficult to find
the computer games bit.

Silica Shop is also tricky to find.  It's upstairs in a building named
'Lion House', at 227 Tottenham Court Road.  Go in the main door, and up
the (probably not-running) escalator.
