Foyles? Superb? Have they stopped indexing the books by publisher,

helpful assistants and refurbished the place, then?

Yes - you wouldn't recognise the place if the last time you saw it
was
in its former "chaotic" state.

I've been in within the last year and for the sections I checked
Blackwells and Borders were better and Waterstones about the same.

Taking a very specialised section, Borders in Kingston-on-Thames had
more American imports in SF than Foyles though of course Forbidden
Planet is better than either.
