Hello Cas.
I have just googled 'ostomy suppliers in the UK' and loads of them came up so you shouldn't have any problem getting suppliesand most of them are advertising the fact that they give free samples! so if pushed, you could probably survive on those for a while.
Because most people in the UK get their supplies on prescription, I am not sure if all the companies cater to those who need to pay. However, their websites seem to give the prices of the supplies so I presume it will be like any other purchasing arrangement.
I use a company called 'Charter Healthcare' tel: 0800 132 787 and have found them very helpful over many years.
I hope this is helpful to you
Best wishes
Bill
NB: I'm not far from London, so if you fancy meeting up I will see what I can do to facilitate that.

I use charter healthcare & I live right in the middle of the city & have never had any problems with them. Enjoy your trip to London.
