Default London Vet Recommendations? - Cheek/Pouch Pulling

My last post about Gordy's hair seems to have disappeared
Background:
He's been doing a weird thing with his mouth, and on closer inspection it looks like he's taking one of his pouches out and pulling on it before popping it back in. This is on the same side as where he's got a little bald patch on his chest which is worrying. I can't really get a good picture as every time he's doing it he pops his pouch straight back in as soon as he spots me!

So basically, the vet we saw (Vets4Pets at Old Kent Road) said he was in good physical health but seemed to have pulled a patch of his hair out due to anxiety. I think I need a 2nd opinion on his pouch health though.
Can anyone recommend a good hamster vet in London, preferably fairly Central / SE as travelling too far will stress Gordy out?

Heads up - we paid £35 for our first check at Old Kent Road which seems very high, but prepared to spend whatever we need to make sure our little man is OK.
