Camera shops in London

I have an old Nikon F60 SLR with Nikon 28-80mm and 75-240mm lenses. I want to get a DSLR and think that I will be able to use these old lenses on a Nikon DSLR. Can anyone recommend a camera shop in central London where I can get some decent advice and which charges reasonable prices for a DSLR body?

thanks

Grays of Westminster is the home of everything Nikon.

I can tell you though that your old lenses will be compatible with most Nikon DSLRs

What type of photography are you thinking of with the new DSLR?

Excellent, thank you very much.

I won't be using it for anything specialist - it's for pictures of my kids, holidays, landscapes, buildings. I just want to be able to take better composed photographs, with better lenses. I don't get on very well taking pics with my mobile - the pictures are ok but manipulating the phone I find annoying. I have an old Kodak Easyshare camera which has been very good, but it has its limitations.

I've been meaning to get a DSLR for some time, but I've been prompted by the fact that I'm going to the World Athletics Championships tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday and it would be good to have the camera before then (I don't intend to use the camera much at all for sports events after this, although there may be one or two).
