Might be worth you buying some covert body armour, in particular, if your visit takes you into the suburbs!
Reminiscent of Johannesburg at the moment, very sad.

An internet search reveals a number of military antique stores in London that carry medals, bronze busts, china, and headdress but no mention is made of badges (perhaps because they are relatively inexpensive items?). Also are there any militaria fairs in the London area the first two weeks of June I might visit? Thanks in advance for any responses!
