Where can I buy a not-too-expensive 2nd hand tuxedo in London?

i seem to have a fair few black tie occasions coming up, and it became apparent to me when i last wore my dinner suit that it's way too big. i can probably have the trousers taken in a bit, but the jacket's a bit of a joke. i don't have the money to buy one new; are there sensible places to try second hand? i'm a slightly awkward size, too (6ft tall, 29-30 inch waist, 34 inch leg, narrow shoulders)...

I think Moss Bros's ex-hire stuff is a fair bit cheaper than a new one and probaby in better condition than a second-hand suit.

My Dad gave my SO his dinner suit which was an excellent quality one but about two sizes too big. I took it to Joliffe's in Marlow and they re-sized it at a very reasonable cost. I can't remember what it cost offhand, but I know if was much cheaper than buying anything else.

My Dad's giving his dinner suit to Ally this weekend (not that he'll be here to say thank you).
