Not sure its been mentioned but the top end of kentish town/bottom of highgate, near swains lane has hundreds of cyclists going through on their commutes as well as the swains lane traffic but doesn't have a decent workshop type bike shop until you get to camden. The coffee shop at the bottom there always has 5 or 6 cyclists stopping in. Rents could be pricey round there though.
