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 (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58744).

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.
