Rocket- I want some fiery rocket!

Really warmed to Rocket in the last few months but am finding that the supermarket stuff is all a bit bland and lacks some oomph. Some of the stuff available may as well be baby spinach for all the distinct flavour it has.

So question is, where can I find some more flavourful rocket? I live near Heathrow though am in Central London from time to time.

I grew tons of the stuff last summer for use in salads, three different varieties I think. It was completely different to the stuff you buy in supermarkets and was a lot softer and more tender with a really peppery taste. I think the most peppery was one called 'Runway' or something and it really stood out in salads.

Probably a bit too early to be growing it yourself but it's an absolute piece of piss to grow in pots outside or on the windowsill.
