One of the main problem with London bike shops is that outside of Condor, BLB and Brixton the amount of fixie/track stuff is often limited and shops have only one or two bikes/frames. It could be that that one frame is the one for you, but it does require some leg work.
While not as shiny or exciting and it depends on your budget but, Cycle Surgeries carry the Gensis Flyer and Specialized Langsters and Evans should have the Bianchi Pista, which are worth having a look at in the cheap-o market. Oh and it might be worth calling up London Fields (a little remote but a single bus ride out of central London) as they carry Dolans amongst other - call 'em and see what they have in stock to see if its worth going over there.
Witcomb was a cool shop to visit for the history, but their new pricing policy makes the chances of buying anything there remote.
