Well, not so much how to buy it - that's the easy bit. But collecting it? That's a different matter! @ttcycle took the true cyclist's way: After a full day at work, take a long ride through rush hour traffic to unknown areas of London, strap the frame to your back, then ride home through another unknown area. All on fixed.
Sadly, I made ttcycle ride up an unnecessary hill owing to a combination of my navigational error and Richmond Park being closed (we just missed the cut off) for the deer cull. Still, we got the fun of riding down Star & Garter Hill (I need to get my souplesse back), and a kind commuter stopped to help us as we were looking at the map heading for Kingston Gate.
Some essential de-fettling before the off:

Epic ride. Good company. Great fun.
