On my web site is a list of UK old and some new tool suppliers, including
some in London.
Please look under UK Old and New Tool Dealers.

If I remember correctly shipping tools back here will obviate paying VAT
[that applies to all items] . The VAT in the UK is about 17% I think ...mjh

My SIL's retired father worked in Sheffield, including the Record factory,
for 40 years as a grinder. AAMOF, I came back from there last year with a
good many, and kindly presented, hand tools from a different era .. all
cherished and put to immediate good use. He works out of a shed that makes
my small 18 x 18 shop look like Tom Plaman's new one by comparison, but damn
are his tools sharp!
