West Yorkshire Cameras in Leeds. https://wycameras.com/ They have a number of OM lenses in at the moment plus some bodies and accessories depending on what you are looking for. Although I have not used them myself I know one of the members on here has and he was happy with them. Another possibility is one of our sponsors, Second-hand Darkroom Supplies although they seem to have less stock than West Yorkshire Cameras.

If you take your time have a look at the London Camera Exchange site. It isn't as straight forward as the Ffordes website but you can pick up a bargain or two. 4 years ago I bought my Nikon F6 from them before the prices started to rise. All boxed and only had 30 films through for £495. It has now done a lot more work than that and I could get close on a grand for the body.

Mifsud's in Brixham are the same lines as Ffordes but tend to be more expensive.

There are more but I very rarely change my equipment these days so only occasionally go elsewhere

I think they are feeling the pinch of lack of customers because they are open only on odd days now and there is a message on their website when they will be open or closed.

Sorry, never used them up 'til now but they appear to have some nice kit. I'll dig through some of my other links too.

I have used a company called CameraWorld a few times. They have a shop in London, and another elsewhere, but also sell a lot online. Some of their prices are high, but I’ve had some good bargains. They are very efficient , and nice to deal with.

Another store I've used when passing, I used to go to Sheffield quite a bit for work. Always found them excellent on prices and grading equipment bought my 50mm Summicron there for my M3.

I used them at the NEC Photography show a few years ago, they had massive discounts on Epson products and were next to the Epson stand, so Epson sent potential customers there.
