Anyone knows any place that sells this online or in london? I am not talking about the simple morcilla, the one I am after looks like a black chorizo, it's meatier and almost has the same texture.

I'd give Garcia & Sons a call or visit.

Unfortunately it's not the one I am after, the one you linked is the one with rice inside it.

Give them a call anyway, it's likely they don't list everything they stock.

Brindisa might be worth a try as well. They definitely always have a fresh one in their shop, but I would imagine they might have a cured version as well

Is butifarra negra the same like the one I am after?

It could be, it sounds like you're looking for one that's cured right, with a firm texture for eating sliced / uncooked? I think butifarra is basically just sausage so could be cured or not cured, like if you look about a minute into this video you can see the butifarra kind of crumbling

This says it's cured but also that it needs to be cooked

I reckon you're best to give Brindisa a call and explain what you're after
