When you're in London on Wednesday try and get to See Woo Cash & Carry See Woo The're located just off the A102(M) by the south side of the Blackwall tunnel, I reckon thats about a 20/30 minute drive from Vauxhall. You should be able to get all of your foodstuffs from them, the Orchids I'm not sure about.
Good Luck Keith

you may have to buy box fulls of produce..........but how about western international market in southall or if your in vauxhall then new covent garden market get there early although if you turn up later in the morning they may not be so busy, get ready to negotiate, cash of course, parking is always a pain. Be in no doubt the parking enforcers are RUTHLESS (bitter and VERY expensive experience) enjoy yourself
Have you tried the Asian supermarket called (I think) Brighton Grove, directions - go up West Road, at bowling alley turn right at lights, supermarket about 150 yards on right just before traffic lights. We found they had a very good selection of Asian Foods

I doubt that these markets would sell the fruit & veg you're after. Thai produce tends to be imported directly from source by the specialist oriental wholesalers. However New Covent Garden would be the place to get Orchids

Cheers to everyone who offered advice, unfortunately i forgot the charger for my laptop and couldnt read your replies until tonight when i got home. bloody idiot! The Tesco building i was working on was right beside the Covent Garden Flower Market so i managed to pick up a few things, enough ingredients to have a good party anyway. Cheers again to all
