Japanese shops, if you want decent stuff. Tescos or wherever usually sell dodgier verieties which are fine for cooking with but that I'd rather not drink. Good sake is *nice*.
Some of it is meant to be served cold, but if you're buying the cheap stuff it's much more likely to be drinkable hot.
A friend of mine usually brings a carton or two to UK anime conventions. If we can get to it before Rumi inhales it all, it's quite good cold - and pretty handy to be able to drink a liquid that looks exactly like water in water-like quantities, in terms of not annoying the hotel.
Marna is spot on the money if you are sophisticated - the Oriental City mall near Colindale Tube station (come out of Tube, turn right, walk for 5-10 minutes) has a very wide range if you escape the depths of Essex - but fortunately I am an ignorant Westerner and will drink anything if it's heated up.
Sainsburys and some off-licences sell Hakutsuru sake, which is actually not bad at all. Tesco sell Choya, which is not in my opinion quite as good. Both go for about 6 quid a bottle.
