where to by a Kilt in London?

Hamish, you are, of course, correct about the location of Savile Row!

Perhaps it would have been clearer to say Savile Row is is one block west of Regent Street, between Conduit Street and Vigo Street, and is easily found if you walk south from Oxford Circus. (Walk south down Regent Street, right into Conduit Street, left into Savile Row).

Steve, you just beat me to it! You are correct, this is little more than a Scottish souvenir shop for tourists in London.

Indeed! This shop is probably not worth visiting if you are seeking to buy a kilt. I'd agree that the Great Russell Street store is definitely worth a visit, though.

From Earl's Court, you could get the Picadilly line tube to Holborn (about a 15 minute journey, with trains every 3 minutes) , and then have only a short walk to the Highland Store in Great Russell Street. Here is a Google Map.

To get back to Heathrow, Picadilly line again, Holborn to Heathrow is about a 1 hr journey, trains about every 10 minutes.

Alternatively, taxi from Earl's Court to the British Museum main entrance, and the shop is in plain sight from the museum's front gate.

I considered the Tartan Cupboard (I'm in east London, so Greenwich is easy to get to by car for me) but as you say it's hard to get to. I think the travel time required would mean that Günter wouldn't be able to get there and back within the time he has available.

Best regards
