Looking for an RPG Store in London

That's role-playing games, of the pen and paper variety, not video games or some kind of munitions or anything else. I'd be especially interested in a place that would have a good selection of indy material, especially if it was of UK- or European origin. (And I'm asking about London in the UK).
And Dark Sphere near Waterloo station. Those are pretty much your three best bets.

Take the train a few hours north and head to Travelling Man in Leeds.

London is very badly served for RPG material and games stores generally, but for sheer range of games as well as for a decent section of indie RPG material, Leisure Games is your best bet. 100 Ballards Lane, Finchley, London, N3 2DN. Closest tube station is Finchley Central.
I think you may be imagining a UK/European scene that doesn't exist. European stuff is mostly published in that country's language rather than English so it doesn't get exported; and there isn't much UK stuff that you won't find in games stores in the US or on DriveThruRPG. A few titles, to be sure, but not a lot.

Response by poster: Thanks, everyone! Leisure Games turned out to be almost exactly what I wanted! Orc's Nest looked good as well.
