Can anyone recommend a cost efficient supplier in the London area?

    Are you looking to buy a couple of bags or a couple of tons?

    Almost every garden centre sells several types of JI under a variety of different brand names.

    John Innes is not itself a brand name, but a recipe. More info here. It is available in several mixes for different types of plants/conditions.

    You need to know what you want it for: seed sowing, potting on or as a long term growth medium. That will determine what type of JI. you require.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Many thanks. Looking for a bulk buy of no 2 and 3. Maybe 40 bags?

    For the last 3 years I've bought manure of different flavours from CPA Horticulture and been pleased with all of them. I also had 25 ton topsoil from them which was very good. I've not bought JI from them.

    They do sell JI1, JI2 & JI3 in 40 bag loads and afaik they deliver Nationwide. Delivery is on a non-returnable pallet.
    Details here The last paragraph mentions they can also supply JI1/JI2 on the same terms
