The Open Guide to London: the free London guide - Differences between Version 6 and Version 5 of Computer Fairs

Contents are identical

Computer fairs are the best way to get hold of cheap computer hardware and software in London. Prices start at parity with mail-order and go down from there. Be prepared to pay in cash, though.

The emphasis is definitely on the latest hardware - don't expect to find older motherboards or processors here. On the other hand, some fairs have second-hand dealers as well.

Computer fairs generally happen on Saturdays, starting at about 10-11am - it's worth checking the time and turning up early.

The best ones I know are in Bloomsbury/Fitzrovia (various UCL buildings including Huntley Street and Windeyer Street) and Stratford.
