In the category of Best Local Bike Shop

With look no hands and east central bikes closing ,there doesn't seem to be a decent bike repair in the EC1/WC1 area .Condor are always overbooked and the The London Bicycle Workshop customer service is less to be desired . Any hidden bikes shops hidden in these areas ?
please and tanks CBW

There's a few now, given this was 6m ago I think you're probably sorted, but given the range of shops it's probably worth saying what you want from the shop as they all seem to cater to different segments.

It's the other side of the river, but not a million miles from WC1/EC1, and I can wholeheartedly recommend The London Bicycle Repair Shop. I used to work in that area and used them a lot and they were excellent.

Is Paradise Cycles in Cambridge Heath/ Bethnal Green too far?

Go and see Mark at SBC. Unless you ride a Peugeot

Think bikefix is still open, haven't been in ages, used to be a great place. Round the corner now as opposed the conventional shop they used to have.

I'd highly recommend Javi Cycles. A tiny little workshop in Spitalfields. Javi has worked on many of my bikes and I've never been disappointed.

The London Bicycle Workshop customer service is less to be desired .

Surprised to read this. When I worked in the area (pre-Covid), I used them regularly and found them excellent.

Bikefix is still open but not in the shop on Lambs Conduit St- it’s now down a side st @chokalateboywonder it’s probably the closest to condor and London bicycle workshop. I think it’s excellent

Thanks, I'll check them out . Didn't realize they moved around the corner.

thanks
