It could well be time to change the whole front end, then I'll need someone to do the alignment.

Any recommendations around north/west London?
No recommendations - take it to a dealership they will at least get the job done correctly. Many places will struggle to align a Mercedes correctly - they do take a lot of time to get right. Many of these places won't even realise you need to disconnect the front anti-roll bar on a W201 / W124...

...this forum has many threads of people taking their cars to cheapo places where the so called technician has said the suspension can not be adjusted and that everything needs to be replaced - many threads too of so called technicians not knowing how to use their super fandango aligning machines either...
