I second this, Equinix slough may be worth a shot.

I checked, we dont have any :(

But, do Equinix Slough have any - you could raise a remote hands to get a patch 
lead if they do .... its a long shot but trying to think who in the area might 
have something they can give you..

If this isn't a sensitive optical requirement eg DWDM or other long haul then 
just try an SC/PC patch lead. It'll work there's just not a perfect mating 
occurring and the light will have a small air gap but its pretty low loss. It 
can cause damage (scratching) but its minor and again if its not DWDM won't be 
an issue..

All,

Having just turned up for an install job in Reading, I've just found that
the fibre presentation is not LC as we'd expected, but is actually SC/APC.
As a result, I don't have a suitable patch cable with me.

Any suggestions on where I could urgently get an SC/APC to LC patch cable
(singlemode duplex) in or near Reading?

Many thanks,

Simon
