I ain't a local.
Depending on what day of the week you have free, you may want to go to
Legoland or you may want to go to Bluewater. or somewhere else.
Bluewater has a lego "outlet" (more like the LIC, with lots of trinkets and
trash type merch, than some sort of gigantic discount place) and it also has
a ToyStack which I had pretty good luck with.
The UK, for me so far anyway, hasn't been a hotbed of really old MISB sets,
nor has it been a source of huge deals on current sets. Plus it's cold and
wet. :-) But I like it anyway.
