Cheers.

I'm on my way to London in a couple of weeks, and was wondering if anybody here could recommend a good local bike shop in London. I thought I'd take a look at some panniers, as selection of front panniers seems to be somewhat limited where I live.

Addresses or web links would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

There are 3 bikeshops near to the centre which are really worth a visit.
Bikefix http://www.bikefix.co.uk/ (Lambs Conduit St)
and Brixton Cycles http://www.brixtoncycles.co.uk/
are very good for utility cycles.
Evans (www.evanscycles.com)is good for touring kit (Waterloo branch).
Condor Cycles is more race-oriented but make lovely light-touring bikes and have a superb wheelbuilder

Also join the London Cycling Campagn for useful tips, maps, workshop access and discounts.

There arent any other bike shops I could recomend.

Thanks, MichaelW, just what I needed. I'll only be there for 10 days so I probably will not be riding. Just shopping around...
