This is one of those questions that haunts most people new to Crossfit in London, how do you get hold of the essential equiment that you need without being overcharged or ripped off.
Its interesting to note that Both Andy from Crossfit Reading and Andrew Stemler from Crossfit London UK both mention and recommend Jordan Free weights as a Central supplier of Crossfit type stuff in and around london, and indeed the rest of the country.
After that, Andrew Stemler, who occassionally imports gymnastic rings, always says, order direct form the USA, its cheap and easy, and there is a link below

Diane
"Diane"
21-15-9 reps of:
Deadlift 100Kg
Handstand push-ups
This is 3 rounds; the first at 21 reps, the second at 15, and the third at 9 reps. It's expected that you'll need to partition the sets, e.g., Deadlift 7-7-7 & Handstand push-up 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 as a first round. Interval management - work/rest timing to optimize time - is an essential skill.
If the load is too much under any partitioning scheme, reduce it. If you need help with the handstand push-up, take it in any manner you can get it. If the handstand push-up (HSPU) is clearly beyond your current capacity, substitute a standing dumbbell shoulder press (hip and leg free). Though a less functional press, the standing shoulder press is a closer simulation to the HSPU than the more functional push-press or jerk. The point is that there's a manageable substitution for this workout for everyone that preserves both its mechanical and metabolic characteristics - this will be "your Diane."
