Default Bike shop recommendations in London?

Can any of the Brits on-line recommend a good bike shop in London? We'll be there next weekend and are hoping to pick up a kind of Blackburn front rack that's no longer sold in the U.S. but is still available in the UK. Any suggestions? (either a good bike shop or an outdoors store with a good biking section would work) Thanks!

On your Bike is a good place and near to a station (London Bridge I think, their website is down at the moment) FW Evans has shops all over the place, Although some of them are a bit small so it might be worth checking they have what you want, they can move stock around the various shops with a bit of notice.

I notice that Evans have the Blackburn FL1 Custom Low Rider Rack, don't know if this was the one you were interested in, its on their website.

Have a good trip

Hi Margaret,

Depends where in London you mean really. But you could try ...

On Your Bike, Tooley Street
Evans, in Waterloo ... and a couple other addresses
Condor Cycles, Greys Inn Road
Cycle Surgery, Holloway Road

Have a good trip

Thanks -- we'll be staying with some friends in Kensington, near the park. Seems like On Your Bike and Evans have come up multiple times, as well as Condor. Really appreciate the recommendations -- thanks --
