Seven Sisters

My sister in law and husband have lived up round 7S and turn pike for a while now, they like it and have been brining up there young son there...

I live in Manor house, it's pretty cool.

If you have plenty of cash!

Thanks for all the input above. I've made an offer on a house so could well be on my way there soon enough.

Closest LBS to Seven Sisters? Aside from heading to Finsbury Park, or down to Stokey N there seems to be nothing in the area (well, there's halfords in tottenham hale). Am i missing anywhere in seven sisters/bruce grove/northumberland park?

If it's servicing/minor stuff there's http://www.bikemech.co.uk/ next to the Castle

Hub Velo by Clapton ponds is excellent

There basically isn't one - it's a fair trek to the nearest LBS. There is someone who runs a bike mechanics out of a unit in the artists' warehouses in Palmers Green.

I use micycle in Stroud green and hop on a bus to get back to seven sisters/wood green road. There is a bmx instructor group based near the lordship rec and they sometimes do free servicing on a weekend by the park cafe but I haven't seen of they or an associated lbs do this on a permanent basis.

Thanks all. The scottish guy at the Castle is good, and I have used him in the past. I was looking more for somewhere local that I could pop out to to buy parts as and when required, but you've all confirmed my suspicions that there isn't really anywhere that convenient.

On another note, the Seven Sisters area is much much better than when this thread was started 7 years ago. Got that new Sushi place on Philip Lane, Beehive, Craving Coffee, plus the older places - San Marco and that portugese bakery on west green road.

The Sunday market is good as well. And don't forget one of the newest additions to Phillip lane, https://cheekyvape.com/.

Not much use to @CheeseWheel, but for trivia points...

There used to be a one-legged bicycle mechanic at the back of the Latin Market. Local rumour was he had been a racing champion before he lost the leg in an accident. I don't know if the story is true but the guy definitely existed, I took my bike there for a service.

Just dropped my bike off at Bicycle Box, a new lbs on phillip lane. £20 to true both wheels. Full service is £45 and a reassemble and regrease etc at £80. No website but there is a fb page:

Haven't been in yet but looks good from the outside.

Bike ready for collection after both wheels have been trued. Can't collect until Sunday. A true test of customer service...
