Covent garden has a few. The Snowboard Asylum has a good selection. It's downstairs in some other mountain shop. There's a Snow+Rock the other side of Covent garden too, but not been there myself. You could probably have a butchers on the TSA website to see what sorta stuff they stock 
(edit - said the same as the person before me, fail :p) |

| Snow + Rock in Covent Garden is good, mainly because of the great staff there. I'm all for supporting the independent stores, but I just don't know where to find them! Covent Garden seems to be the place though. Thanks guys x |

| You could get an insert that has your prescription I guess? I was talking to my optician about this a while back. I know Bolle do an insert and it works in Oakley goggles too as that is what goggle he uses. I just decided to use contacts in the end. |

I am sure you have tried this!! but have you tried / ruled out contacts?? I know they are not everyones cup of tea, but i forced myself to get used to them, because i didnt even know there were goggles you could use glasses with, so felt i had no choice.
It takes a bit of getting used to and putting them in can be a ball ache, but worth it. |

| Not sure if you've decided on a set yet but i went with oakley crowbars as they are quite big, but braved touching my eyeballs after a while and using contacts. Definatley the way to go if you can. |

Likewise, I have ended up wearing contact lenses as a direct result of my first boarding holiday. I wear them pretty much all the time now and It becomes second nature after a while. It saves all the hassle of wearing glasses IMO. Contacts are definately the way to go  |

Just seen these, universal inserts, looks like they send you a trial pack to see if they fit aswell
http://www.prescriptioninserts.com/p/Un ... I_003.html
I think im going to get a pair to try as it seems a better option than wearing your glasses underneath your goggles expecially if you cant go down the contact lense route.

| I was thinking of looking into getting contacts (lol pun), maybe a new years resolution. I just know I would get tired and forget about them on holiday then fall asleep with them in and that would suck. |

There are several different types of contact lenses; daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly. I use daily disposable and I sometimes forget they are in & fall sleep! It's no great problem to forget from time to time although not advisable. There are some lenses that you can actually leave in for days without removing them. |

| Yeah my sister uses dailies and my mum used the old ones you kept for like a year before she got shot in the eyes with robot beams. Might go have a talk with opticians after christmas, pretty sure the perscription I have atm is wrong now anyways. |

Thanks again for the advice guys. After visiting City Surf in Cardiff, I've decided to go for the face consuming Electric EG1S (but bought via SCUK) ;D
Cheers!
& Merry Crimbo! |
