Not sure of shops in that area although I know there are some good shops around London. Crystal Palace Reptiles might be worth a visit or Cold Blooded in Rainham is definitely worth a visit. Alternatively you could try thespidershop.co.uk for online sales or try the classified section for available Ts. I've just put a thread in there, see if any of those are what you're after.

you can always get one online. There's tons for sale on the classified section on here. It'll be cheaper than a pet shop aswell

You're better off buying from spidershop or one of the regulars on here than going to a pet shop. Better prices and they will have better knowledge of the spider's history and can advise you on care.
FWIW, Poxicator's ad contains B. boehmi's which are easy to care for and extremely attractive  I have one which I bought from Alex on this site, and she's gorgeous.

mugged, get real!!!
Its a business as opposed to personal collections, the difference is always going to be a lot because personal don't pay taxes, staff, and the various overheads of having a shop. But, you may save on postage and you can actually see the T and gets hands on experience.

I saw a Cobalt Blue T on sale for £80.
I would call that overpriced, would you not? That was my point, order from a shop, you will pay more. *shrugs*

Fact. Some shops may be overpriced but the majority sensibly price their stock.
