I suppose Maplin's might stock them.
Maplin's list the CR123A but you might not like the price, £8.49 each!

There is a Maplin's store in Stoke if you get desperate in future.

I normally use 7dayshop for my batteries. They have 4x Lithium CR123A for £2.29

I have found their 'own brand' batteries to be as good as branded ones, or maybe even better than some.

I used www.baterystore.co.uk. Good price for 5 of them. I'd have to be desperate to may those Maplins prices.
