Where to buy framing materials South London?

Discussion

I’m looking to buy some sheets of perspex/backing & mount board for some frames I’m working on but I don’t need enough to justify paying loads in shipping from somewhere online. Anyone know where I can pick some up in South London?

You could try Abplas in Mitcham. Decades ago they used to have a shop on Merton High Street where I bought various plastic products.

How much are you after? I just ordered some before Christmas from Lion but pooled together a few friends to get up to the necessary ten sheets. If it’s a small amount I can give/sell you abit, or we can combine for a future order down the line

Also I’ve used the 3mm perspex from B&Q before and its help up pretty much as well at the 2mm from picture framing suppiers, same goes for backingboard which I got from Hobbycraft in the past

Thank you all, B&Q/Hobbycraft sounds like a good shout to begin with and if that doesn’t work I’ll certainly give you a shout
