I attended the Game Fair this year and stayed the week after to do some clay shooting at Bisley, West London, Churchills and West Kent, and visited the London gunrooms (Purdey, H&H, William & Son, Beretta, William Evans) in the Mayfair area. All great fun. Stopped by Purdey's who kindly gave me the paperwork to get the 17.5% VAT tax refunded on my game fair purchases.

I also went to the Bonhams gun auction preview. It was interesting to see, particularly the 20 bore Boss with original 17" barrels once owned by the Guinesss family. Location is basically across the street from Harrods in Knightsbridge which is a fun place to visit as well.
