Lillywhites in Piccadilly Circus, London is a large sports shop, which is much to my surprise owned…read moreby Sports Direct in central London (not too far away from their own large, flagship branch which is less popular on Yelp in terms of the number of reviews). It is located in a fairly old building and the only disabled/wheelchair entrance due to the oddly shaped step going into the store is the offputting, dirty, back "staff entrance" I have long avoided this store as its name Llilywhites is associated with Tottenham Hotspur FC - I stupidly thought this was actually their club shop until I noticed a sign which confused me "The world's finest sports store", after doing some research later I found the name comes from the family which used to own and run the store, located at 25 Regent St since the year of 1925 - it is nice to see it is still in its' original old building, which surely must be Grade listed by now - fairly impressive for a sports shop and especially considering it is now owned by the UK's largest sports retailer, for them to keep the original branding including the website (same website as Sports Direct just with the Lilywhites logo), despite other branches in other cities changing hands such as Leeds, Newcastle and Nottingham. It seems despite seeming to be a higher-end brand the overall store feel and layout is the same - and that includes the staff who didn't seem friendly or helpful by any means to struggling disabled customers or just shoppers looking to find something. It is over multiple floors and does have a decent selection, however. Is it as good as Sports Direct's flagship central London location? No, of course not - other than keeping the brand name it seems the store which seemed so historic and cool has become a boring branded store in every other regard, it's just a more expensive Sports Direct without improved quality/service etc. 2* - For the store size and location, nothing else.

This store specializes in professional tennis products including rackets, shoes, attire and other…read moreaccessories. They also restring rackets. In my experience and according to what I've been told, it's the biggest professional tennis shop in London, and among the biggest in Europe. Whatever tennis equipment you are looking for, you will probably find it here. But the choice among the models offered could arguably be better. I was looking for Yonex sportswear and they didn't have much. Plenty of Adidas and Fred Perry, as well as other brands, though. A good selection of tennis shoes too. Most recent racket models are also usually available here. The staff are mostly very helpful and happy to explain everything about their products and recent tennis innovations. If you are interested in tennis, then this shop is definitely worth visiting. My coach, a long time professional, enjoyed spending a lot of time here. But whether you are a good player or are just starting, they will probably have something useful for you.

I bought a pair of football boots for my son. After using them just one time we found that a stud…read morewas missing - fallen out in the grass. Now the boots are very uncomfortable to wear. I then took them to the store for a return. They refused on the basis that I should have screwed them tight before wearing them, being utterly oblivious to the fact that the boots were not fit for purpose when we bought them. If I was supposed to screw them tight before wearing them, why did the shop assistant not ask me to do this? Better still, why didn't they do it as they checked the boots' size before we bought them. It would have taken no more than 30 seconds. And best of all why doesn't the factory (Adidas) make them so they are actually screwed in properly. I will never walk into to this dreadful shop ever again.

With no intentions of me buying at all, my wife and I went to see if we could have someone skilled to provide direction on the ideal sneakers for her workouts and power walks. Turns out that for 20£ you get a comprehensive, computer-aided foot analysis and video gait assessment (complete with treadmill video assessment) to link your foot to the optimal shoe types to maximise fit and correct errors in your walking/running. While the charge may seem out of line, it's worth it, light years ahead of what I saw at lillywhites and more compelling than what you get today at any other sneaker store (or shoe store for that matter) I've ever attended. No more kind (or not so kind) service assistant directing you to what looks good. (Our visit to another store down the street had an attendant we had to chase to inform on what we wanted, he retrieve the selection from the stock room and left us never to be heard from thereafter). This was the best blend of science and technology driven evidence to guide you to the purchase that is "customised" to your needs. To be more candid I have never worn a pair of Asics and favour other brands for their appearance and fit. And being primarily a "runners" shoe store, I've never been that excited about how they look. This visit MADE me WANT to take the analysis and buy a pair simply due to their evidence guided approach. The next step is to see how this adventure unfolds. Although the results led me to shoes that I don't LOVE appearance wise, I'm Willing to see if they lead to a different physical result. I'll actually assess whether my purchase leads to any pain reduction. I definitely recommend the store for the analysis AT A minimum.

If this Sports Direct were not (literally) exactly on my way from the office to the underground…read morestation, I'd never return. It's not that exciting. It's cluttered mostly with low-end brands of sportswear that I am not interested in and that fall apart after a few washes. But there are a few diamonds in the rough. A few items of Nike and Adidas to see me through and refresh my sportswear fashion enough to prompt me to the gym a few more times. Usually just tees and perhaps the odd running trousers, but beyond that...meh. To be fair, the men's selection looks MUCH better. The staff is begrudgingly there, it appears against their will. I cannot be certain. They often have good deals on sports kit - balls, socks, etc. I was tempted to pick up 2 adidas footballs for £20 for my little kicker at home, but didn't want to heft them home on the tube. Good deal though! It'll do in a pinch but I wouldn't call it pleasant or enjoyable, honestly.

The sales people here are also always very friendly and assist you throughout. Once, I wanted to buy a pair of shoes and I had that poor salesman fetch me more than a dozen different shoes in various sizes. In the end, I told the poor guy that I needed to think some more before making a hasty decision.
