Where can I buy a bright-coloured (e.g. orange or yellow) men's lounge
suit in London?

Pretty much any style of jacket or trousers would be acceptable,
including a so-called "Zoot Suit".

I can find one or two tailors online, but do not have time to search
the capital for real actual shops, and unfortunately, I am on a very
tight schedule, and need this for SATURDAY (29 Jul 2006) evening - so
probably no time for alterations.

My size is fairly standard, 38" chest, 34" waist, 30" leg.

Money pretty much no object, I would be prepared to pay £300-£400 max
(although ideally a bit cheaper than this!).

Hello ianjm-ga 
would you consider a suit hire ?

Suit hire would be acceptable, however I have already found a hire shop.

For the purposes of this question I would like to know if it's
possible to buy in the short time before I need the item

I anticipate using this suit several times in the coming months and do
not want to waste money on hire one time if possible!
