I know Farlows and Orvis in central London, but does anyone know of any shops catering for fly fishers in North or West London or in Herts?

There's an Orvis branch in Amersham
Orvis Company Store

Judds in South Ruislip have a pretty good selection of rods, reels and fly tying
materials

They used to have half the shop dedicated to fly buy I haven't been for a while. But could be worth a call.

Simpsons in Turnford is good, especially if you want to see top of the range rods such as Sage.

The tackle shop at Rib Valley is also excellent now, and has a wide range of Greys, Fishpond etc and is probably cheaper than Simpsons.

Grangers is in South Kensington is outside the tube station. Easy to get to and the guys in there will do anything they can to help. Makes a change to the normal Farlows stuffiness
They had a cool fishing vid on too which i had to pull them away from, shows they love their sport!!

Just a quick follow up on this ...
Visited Simpsons of Turnford and the tackle shop at Rib Valley.

Simpsons was pretty good on fly tying materials (I confess I didn't look much further - I doubt I could have withstood the temptation if they'd had lots of nice shiney goodies!)

Rib Valley had very little fly tackle, a random box of tying materials and a reasonable aray of flies, though nothing particularly ... err ... subtle. They said they'd be doing more for fly in time for re-opening their fly fishing in October.
