I'm not sure if any of them do?
I know you can buy it in a few places in central London (Harrods, Selfridges, Fortnums, Caviar House), but I don't know if there's anywhere outside London where I could buy it?
The UK's a big place. Where outside of London are you talking about?

I am in west Surrey but am driving to east London/Essex tomorrow.

I'd also expect there to be a good number of delicatessens selling a limited range in Surrey...

I called my local Waitrose and they only sell cod roe and lumpfish. But maybe if I call a few tomorrow, I can find a convenient one that does sell the real deal.

You can get Onuga from Tesco...

Not sure how they're set up, but if you can call a central number then they can likely look at stock across a number of stores in one go.

They gave me a list of 27 stores that sell it. I tried a few, such as Sunningdale and Weybridge, and they didn't have it.
Seems you can order it in for two days from now, but not for today....

I think in all fairness, that's not surprising. Even in the much-despised 1%, there can't be that many folk who do their own shopping who get caught with the decision as to what they're going to pop out and buy for their lunch, a Greggs pasty or a tin of caviar.
But then, I should imagine that the majority of those who are outside London and eat real caviar live in Weybridge or Virginia Water.
