Default Abaya shopping

Can anyone recommend an online Abaya (black for Saudi) shop in the UK? There seems to be hundreds of them on the web. Any ideas please.

Have you tried this link above. I don't think you'll find any shops in Guildford. The only muslimwear shops I know are in Shepherds Bush, West London or Shepherds Bush market. Or maybe Queensway in West London as its a Middle Eastern hangout. They do have abayas. Also try the Asian shopping areas, there maybe some shops.
I'll try and get more info from my friends who wear the scarves.

Edgware Road is where it's at... More full veils there than downtown Riyadh

I'd imagine you could get one in Staines or Slough.
