I think you should be able to go down to 1.5 at the most.  What size is on the wheel at present?

Local Wilkinsons store or Chain Reaction.

Postage is free with CR, leaving you feeling guilty when you just order a £2 tube or two.  :)

It is possible to stuff a too-large tube in a tyre, but with a greater risk of trapping or ripping the tube in the process.  You might as well get the proper size.
