Was in London this past week and I immediately went over to Pandora's. They had a Constance and a Kelly (sorry I don't remember details as jet lag had set in...however...I walked a bit further (3 doors down on Cheval Place and in the window of Salou were at least 8 Birkins!!!! I thought I would faint, but somehow managed to control myself enough to go inside. They had a few more inside. I will do my best to recall the gorgeous bags they had:
Toile and vert olive Birkin (think it was a 40) can't recall hardware
Black birkin 35; togo or clemence
2 Blue Jean Birkins (35 and 30) 35 was 4,350 GBP; togo I think
Vert Anis Birkin 30 - 4,850 GBP; clemence
Brown (I think perhaps Havanne) 35; togo or clemence
2 or 3 Gold Birkins; togo or clemence
1 White Kelly - 32; togo or clemence
1 Red Kelly - 32; togo or clemence
may have been others, just can't recall
I was so stunned to see so many beautiful bags in one place. I know it is crazy, but I came home empty handed. For some reason my DH wasn't nearly as excited about it as I was. I at least got to try a 30 and 35 for the first time to see which size I prefer. I like them both! So for all of you lucky TPFer's who live in London...have at it. You are so lucky.

I also went into Salou on Saturday and have to say I couldn't believe how poorly they were storing the Birkins, all of them just lined up in the window on a glass shelf. They wanted so much money for secondhand and TBH rather scruffy looking bags, some were £1000 above Hermes retail prices.....
The bags did not look special or loved and if I hadn't known what I was looking at might even have thought they were counterfeit....

I also visited Salou on Saturday; what a coincidence, three TPFers were there on the same day!
I agree with Mooks – Salou’s birkins are overpriced for what they are. Some of them are scruffy and they should not be displayed by the window, on glass shelves, exposed to the sunlight. However, I find that their kellys are more reasonably priced, in better condition, and stored towards the back of the store in glass casing away from the sun.
On another note, if anyone is looking for a black Kelly pochette with PHW, they have one at Salou for £1600 – blindstamp J, I think the leather was ever grain.
