Buying Breakthrough stuff in London

Greetings All,
I live in South Africa, and it's a pain in the, yes, just there, getting hold of Memoir stuff.
However I have a buddy visiting London for a few days and I can send him off on a mission of purchase.
Anybody have any leads for shops stocking Memoir.?
I'm looking for Breakthrough stuff.
Preferably in the central London area.
I have two base sets and the Nations/terrain /air pack expansions and Breakthrough looks more tempting than Overlord.
Well, to me anyway.
Anybody out there who can help?
Ta,

I get my Memoir stuff from The Orc's Nest shop, just off Shaftsbury Avenue: http://www.orcsnest.com/ search using keyword Memoir. They normally carry quite a bit of memoir stock. There's also a boardgames shop on nearby Museum Street but I can't remember it's name.
But don't let your friend go until I've been first to buy the new Battle Map - hopefully this week

Just to add ... the shop in Museum Street closed down 2 or 3 months ago  Not sure if it re-located tho' ...
Orcs Nest is a viable option, although they don't hold a lot of Memoir stuff to be honest, one of each Memoir item at the most from what I recall.

Thank you Gentlemen, and appologies for my delayed response to you replies.
My buddy eneded up at Orc's Nest and bought me a "Raid on Dieppe" Overlord. Not being a multiplayer type I would have prefered a Breakthrough set. Ah well, life is full of trials.
Half tracks and jeeps look fun though - I'm looking forward to Raid on Barce ( North Africa is my favorite theatre) and I remember reading David Sterling - LRDG - "Phantom Major" years ago and thoughly enjoying it, so to play it will be really fun.
A BIG "THANK YOU" to the MEMOIR Community that supports all the silly questions and brings us together as a "Band of Brothers"
Ta,

You're welcome Fred ... glad you managed to add to your collection. Hope you get hold of the breakthrough stuff another time .. the scenarios for that are excellent, and with the new Breakthrough Deck included with the Winter Wars expansion, even more playable than before !

Greetings Stig,
Thanks for the pointer to a Breakthrough scenario.
I'll check it out.
From my limited reading through the Forum it appears that putting two decks together is the way to go.
I'm assuming any other rules and things I'll need can be downloaded.
Hmmm, my wife said she was going away on a Womens weekend in about two weeks time. Sounds ideal for a long dedicated Memoir session. 
May your fountain be blessed,
Fred

THere are no new rules for Breakthrough scenarios compared to standard scenarios, only the board is different.
DOW have recommended that you shuffle 2 decks together when you play Breakthrough. I can echo this, as I think two decks make for more fun.
