After several months of lurking, here I am registered, prompted by your post, so thank you for asking.
There are several good-ish ones nearby. Not too sure about the one nearest you near the railway station, but it's worth visting:
Smith Bros on Chrurch Road in Wimbledon Village. Sells his own brand of re-badged MTBs and quite a few second hand bikes. Worth checking out for '80s racers in need of conversion.
Action Bikes on Wimbledon Broadway is OK-ish in an Action Bikes kind of way.
Star of the show is AW Cycles on Merton High St. Propoer oily finger nails and overalls set up. They sell laughably crap bikes, but very good spares. On a good day he'll let you have a rummage through his spares box.
Moose Cycles in Colliers Wood is mainly MTBs, but he knows his onions and is a pretty low pressure kind of dude.
And if it's a Sunday, and you need specialist kit like an inner tube or a dust cap, Halfords at Shannon Corner (on the way to New Malden) will sort you out.
Oh, and welcome to Merton.
