Druids cycle repair london bridge

Posted on
  • Good afternoon,

    Was just walking home from work and came across a little cycle repair shop tucked into the arches between london bridge and tower bridge road.

    It's called Druid cycle repairs, a rather jaunty looking affair. There was a large collection of tires outside and a grubby chap in overalls sitting outside the door.

    I asked him about my bike as I need the rear re-spaced a little or some spacers for the axel. He said that it was no bother and he could bend it with his bear hands, "like alexander the strong"

    Not sure I want him bending my bike about too much, but his place did seem busy and had the look of a real hands on workshop. Reminded me a bit of recycle in Leeds when it was being run by Morris if that rings a bell with anyone.

    Just wondering if anyone had been there and what they thought of it? I didn't go in but might bob back tomorrow and have a closer look.

    Not much on the internet about it that I could find, just a few small articles and a defunct web page

    Any info much appreciated!

    Cheers, Will

  • I work near there and went in a while ago to try to find some vintage hubs. They didn't have what I wanted but rummaged around for ages looking and seemed to have plenty of stuff. Very helpful

  • Sorry for the super dredge but does anyone know if Thor went anywhere else after the second iteration of the shop packed up?
