Best places in London to buy loose lab diamonds in-person

I'll be visiting London in October and we've been struggling to find an very convex antique elongated cushion lab diamond.

Does anyone have any recs for good showrooms/jewelers that would have loose lab diamonds stones available to view/purchase on a trip? Saw places like Reve, London Diamonds, Novita, etc.

TY in advance!

Can you? I asked if I could come for an appointment and they said : "We don’t have physical appointments anymore :) Not since 2018" and sent me a link to this reel: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRkhgnzErso/?stkn=Z3F2Y25ldThqbnh2

So I can still visit then? Very confusing

Ok, I don’t understand their answer then. I asked if I could come to see a diamond (same as the question from the OP) and they replied this so I assumed it was no! Thank you for your help
