Anyone know of an army surplus store in south east london? I will be visiting my folks in jan 2010 in woolwich and thought i might do a bit of shoping.i want to visit shop as i've had some bad deals online.
used to be one in woolwich back in the old days called sams but i reckon thats long gone.

Bit surprised nobody has replied by now: Silvermans in E London is probably your best bet.

Probably not many answers because there aren't many good ones.
There's a very eccentric one owned by a charming but crazy old guy on the Walworth Road. From the outside looks like a treasure trove of cheap rare stuff. Haven't found many bargains in there personally though.

Guy who used to be over in Victoria moved to The Cut last year, or was it the year before. Gawd I am getting old.

If it's the one I'm thinking of it's really small and a bit fashion orientated. But that was about 2 years ago?

There's a guy on the Cut and there is a guy over thr junction on Baylis Road (by Frazier Street) - the second is the rather more fashionable one - the first is more old school

Probably thinking of the second one then.
Ever been down to the old guy on Walworth Road? Only 10 mins from the Cut. Window display looks like it hasn't changed in 20 years.
