Surrey timbers is not too far away from South East London. And are good at dealing with hobbyists who maybe don't know about timber talk (board ft. Etc).
Also S L hardwoods in Croydon is good, and I've used them before.
I think both accept orders over the interwebz.
Also most branches of Axminster tools have a small, random selection of bits of good quality wood.
If you are getting used to ordering timber for projects it's always a good idea to physically go to the timber merchant and see what is there and what quality it is. It's also a good idea to take a block plane with you as you will need to plane off the end grain sealant, and as a lot of stuff will be rough sawn some of the face to get a good idea of the grain but you MUST ask before doing this as they don't mind as a rule but do get a bit pissed if you stroll around randomly planing their stock.
