Default Places to buy keris in London

Years ago, Robert Hales had his shop in London.

Am in London a few days.

Does anyone know or can recommend shops where it is possible to buy/see keris in London? Shops are always better than museums as one can handle the keris.

Also which museums have the best keris collection on display?

Grateful for any advice.

Michael German Antiques Ltd, 38b Kensington Church St. (not far from Bob Hales's old shop) sometimes has a few keris

The Wallace Collection is a must see, if you havn't been there before.

For buying, have a look round Gray's Antique Centre, near Bond Street. (Within walking distance of the Wallace Collection). Portobello Road Market on Saturday morning is another possibility.

If you have the time, a trip to the Pitt-Rivers Museum in Oxford is also a good idea.
