Qype: Lock 7 in London

London - Cars & Bikes - Bicycles

Great little shop next to the canal. I’ve not actually bought a thing so far, but have popped in to browse on more than one occasion. They combine a café and a bike shop, with lovely friendly staff. The range of accessories available isn’t as huge as some places, but they also do a repair service (including drop-in) that seems to be always buzzing. Apparently you can hire bikes too.

The most interesting section for me is the second hand bikes for sale. At another shop I asked if they had second hand racers, and they replied that ‘people tend to hang onto them’. Well, maybe they are all ending up here! You can find everything from vintage bikes, through basic bikes, racers, and even the latest trendy fixed-wheel bikes for sale. Though the latter will cost you a few hundred even second hand!

This is the sort of shop you could feel comfortable coming to whether you are riding a sit-up-and-beg with flowers painted on it or the latest model. Really must find the time for at least a coffee at some point…
