It has got an old school- hypster- vintage look and vibe and is also a bikers shop dedicated to the two wheels lovers: bykes and all the accessories are available here. The bagels are great, soft and tasty: I had a salmon one, very good, with cream cheese; great value for something as cheap as 4 and something pounds. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Located on Deptford high street, is a must go place in the hood. #love#it##

Specialty coffee/bike shop in Deptford. Great special for a bagel sandwich (several types to choose…read morefrom) + coffee of choice (includes espresso drinks) for £6 (I thought it was a great deal)! I enjoyed my hummus, avocado, and sun-dried tomato bagel sandwich with a latte. The bagel itself was on the smaller side but I was full for a couple of hours afterwards. If you're sensitive to caffeine, get decaf or ask for one shot of espresso only in your drink. I enjoyed my latte, which had just the right amount of milk that I could taste and appreciate the coffee blend itself paired with it. A highlight for me was getting to interact with their cute and sweet dog!

The entire team, (but especially Dave) were brilliant. I didn't know what to expect and there was a lot of planning going in. The On Your Bike team was with me every step of the way. Once I got there, they got the bike set up quickly, provided useful info (the brakes are opposite of what they are in U.S. - good to know!). The bike itself was excellent and exactly what I needed for the ride. They even picked up the bike at the end for a small fee. They made what could have been a complex situation super easy. Fabulous customer service and I highly recommend them.

And lots and lots of bikes. I found the staff really friendly. Very knowledgeable, which you'd expect, all clearly enthusiasts themselves, which is nice. And all together, really well-presented shop with A LOT of bike products.

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.

I rang ahead of time as my local store didn't have the specific tyre I needed. When I went in I got the best advice and suggestions from an actual bike-rider (who also happens to manage the shop). I genuinely got the feeling that they were not trying to "up-sell" me, in fact I spent less than I had researched and planned to spend, but I now have a favourite store and they have my loyalty, so even though it isn't my closest bike shop all my bike-spend is going to this store. (I had to smirk at the google reviewer who gave a low rating, because obviously a troll or competitor as all the other reviewers seem as enthusiastically pleased as I was.)

I stood there for 10 minutes, ignored by both staff. One of them was just reading his computer screen and didn't bother looking up, the other didn't acknowledge me until he had finished with the customer. When I was finally seen they were worse than useless. Didn't have any advice, said they didn't have much in. The second time I went in the bloke tried to push a second-hand bike on me for £300. Once, I would have forgotten it but this happened both times I went in. I felt like I'd been treated with contempt & totally unvalued. It's a joke of a shop & I won't be going back.

It is also worth noting that apart of the popular brands they also sell their own brands on store which even if you never heard of are of excellent quality if not superior to the main brands.

Not a spec of dirt on it. But that's only half the story. Unlike the sanitised, sterile bike shops in the vicinity, Druid Cycles is an eclectic, eccentric and wonderful space under the railway arches. It's also run as a social business, with an emphasis of training people to be mechanics. It's superb value for money and is open late into the evening.

It's probably the 'first shop since Greenwich Meantime was invented (?) so more like the first shop since time began'... doesn't really have the same ring to it does it? It also wouldn't fit on the sign so forgive them for their misleading tagline, it's turned them into a well deserved tourist spot. If there was a joke that went along the lines of 'how many tourists can you fit in to a novelty shop in Greenwich' the answer would be here on a Saturday. It's packed with them Everywhere. They jump out of corners at you. But I can understand why. Go to Greenwich, buy a compass. I never have, but if someone gave me a compass I'd be really pleased. I think they're romantic. Which makes me sound wierd. They actually don't sell tat in here. It's got some great stuff. Barometers and things like that. Of course, just the kind of stuff you need in your modern flat. It's not going to be everyones idea of a cool shop, but it's a great part of Greenwich and it's worth going in just for that. Bet you come out with a little toy boat.
