If you are leaving the European Union then you can buy at the Airport
Duty Free. BUT I question sometimes whether it is worth it. For example
if you google "Duty Free Shop Heathrow Airport" then you will get a list
of duty free shops
For Dixon the blurb at
http://www.heathrow-airport-guide.co.uk/shops-t-3.html#After_Security_Control
is "Take a look at the most up-to-date products available to you at
tax-free prices."
If you go to http://www.dixonstaxfree.co.uk
then the blurb is as follows
Where you see "High Street prices" we are referring to the price in
Currys Digital stores and guarantee to beat their in store prices.
We also guarantee to beat the in store prices of Comet, Jessops,
John Lewis, Tesco and Asda.
If on the day you visit us, any of the above stores offer a cheaper
price for the same product and offer (with stock ready to supply) we
will beat it by 110% of the difference.
Please note "High Street Prices, Same Product and Same Day": not
internet site prices. One reason for this is that the Terminal Operator
(BAA in the case of Heathrow) makes a lot of money from these stores as
rent
Finally if you buy duty free offshore (including when leaving UK) then
when you come back in you may be liable for duty
