Are there no markings on it or on the lever?
Looks a bit like a Sachs Orbit, though those came out in the 1980s and the frame is from the early 70s.

Some older Shimano units used that joint.
Looks similar to this:

If it just needs adjusting or a cable replacement it should be an easy job for most shops. A full strip might be an unusual job for some places but probably not any more complicated than a 3 speed Sturmey.
Not sure who I'd recommend though, Brixton Cycles maybe?

Hello all, a question about South London and hub gears.
From a non-bike friend: "my bike is a Peugeot from 70’s - French size, hub gear (which everyone struggles to take off for service) and oddly wired brake cable etc. I'm having loads of trouble finding someone to service it, every shop I've been to has been really unhelpful. The chain needs replacing and the brakes repairing, and it could do with a general service. What should I do?"
I've had a nosey around online incl Sheldon B but don't know much about hub gears or French vintage bikes. Does anyone recognise what brand of hub gear that is, or know anyone who could service it in South London? She is in Camberwell but very willing to travel.
