I love independent bicycle shops. More than any other kind of shop, I make a point of using…read moreindependent dealers because the difference in service between these and places like Halfords is immense. I took my bike in for a service here. Not only was it much cheaper than I expected, but they did such a good job it felt like I was riding a new bike. While the bike was in, I bought a pannier rack and got them to fit it while doing the service, something they did without hint of trying to ask for a few extra quid. Highly recommended.

The service here is excellent. The shop is well established and you can see why customers are so…read moreloyal. As HollywoodNova says, they have a great range of bikes and accessories. They are one of the few stockists who keep Bromptons alongside everything else. They also keep maps and guides for cycling in the area, and dispense advice and tips readily enough.

Absolutely fantastic. I needed a part, the rear roller wheels, for my Brompton. They didn't have…read moreit in stock but had a slightly more expensive one, the rear rollers plus the roller for the fender. They offered to and did send me the more expensive part at no extra cost. It arrived in one day. Their prices are very good, they don't charge for shipping, and they ship unbelievably quickly. I haven't been there in person, but if they are as friendly and responsive in shop as they are by email it'd be worth the hour and a half train ride from where I am now.

The staff here are passionate about cycling as a sport and probably have been since the day they first sat on a tricycle. As well as having a huge range of mountain, racing and all kinds of bikes, they are immensely knowledgeable and good at repair jobs. On the downside, it is often quite difficult to get served you really do have to fight for their attention. Be prepared for a bit of cockney banter and you can even haggle down the price on occasions. This is nothing like shopping at Evans Bike Superstore, but so much more of a personal and interesting experience.

When I'm commiserating with fellow push-bikers on the sorry state of service in most London bike…read moreshops, its this place that springs to mind. Its not that the work done by the resident mechanic on my trusty racer has ever actually disappointed me, nor that you won't find some of the best cycle brands and top-quality accessories in here. You will. But I have to feel sorry for the blokes who work here. Their attitude to anyone who walks through the door with anything less than some new-season titanium-alloy construction is a sneering shame. I should have been warned after the first time I visited I was told I should wash my bike more often. F*** you, I thought, I happen to like the mud and rust effect. Anyway, I haven't been here for about three months, so perhaps they have got their act together. But then again, perhaps not...

The worst bike shop in the UK. Very slow service and unfriendly staff. Will only talk to you, if…read moreyou look rich. Brought my bike in to get my back wheel fixed. Got a call after three days, that they wouldn't fix it, because it isn't worth it! It's my decision if I want it fixed or not. They could have told me that when I left it there and not three days later. Went there one more time to give them another chance. Just to wait 10minutes for an unfriendly person that wasn't helpful at all. Too bad you can't give zero stars.

This is a proper bike shop, as opposed to a toy shop that sells bikes, where the staff know what they are talking about and offer good solid advice as to the size and type of bike suitable for your requirements. They offer a service where you go back after a few weeks and they check the bike over, tightening anything that has worked loose and ironing out any problems and sell lots of extras that you didn't even know you needed - 10 out of 10.

They have alot of womens, mens and childrens running clothing along with a really large range of sporty food items i.e energy gel, which looks like a thick blue capri sun. They have waterbottles, pens etc. They have lots of specialist equiptment for sporty people, such as Lacrosse sticks - i dont know how much they are meant to cost, but these were more than £100! There ate woggles, swimming cotumes and goggles. They had gum guards, hockey stick tape and lots of hockey sticks. They had a few PE kit bags, but maybe should have a few more. My favourite thing about the shop is the display of the running man.
