Why not just get it in the airport as you’re leaving? I got mine at baggage claim and it took literally 2 minutes and was cheaper than Amazon.

Thanks. We had a bad experience trying to do that in Panama, and ended up getting it at a mall, with the language barrier making it a farce. But I guess London ain't Panama!

The language barrier will be tough, but you can overcome it in London.

Airport or any cell phone store really. In many places (I think London is among them) you'll even find prepaid SIM's at the checkout at grocery stores like you'd find gift cards here.

If you're staying at a Hotel, they also can give some recs on where to find better priced packages. They get asked multiple times a day.

I've never bought a SIM in an airport, my guess is that an airport would be the most expensive place to buy one, as it is for anything else.
