camera shop in London?

Any ideas on a good place for medium format in London? Looking for 645 Fujis or SLR Bronicas...

Thanks

Perhaps Aperture Photographic, they list their stock on their website. Sendean maybe, but they always seem outrageously expensive to me.

For Leica I'd say Red Dot Cameras, but they really are Leica only. York Cameras maybe? If you get down to the British Museum area, there is Aperture, York, and The Classic Camera.

Edit: CameraWorld too, sometimes have some great deals.

...it seems no one has the GF670 in London. Any thoughts on this?

I was hoping to buy it there and skip the taxes for delivery&local VAT that Adorama will give me if I have it shipped to my country.

There are not that many decent second hand places left in the UK and even fewer that one would recommend. The ones above are the ones I would trust. Beyond that there is Nicholas Cameras but I have my own reservations about them. May be worth a look though.

Aperture Photographic for sure...

I expect you could find one in London, but it'll likely be more expensive than buying in the USA and adding the tax.

AG Photographic in the UK have the GF670 at £1,741.48, in the USA, Adorama have it for $1,664.00, which is £1,041.63. Making it almost exactly £700 more in the UK. For that you could take a holiday to New York and pick one up for less.

If you can find a GF670 in London, I doubt it'll be a good deal. Leica prices are not too bad in the UK, but for some reason, the Bessa III and GF670 are outrageously expensive.
