Quick frame repair needed

Hi,

I was involved in a crash the other day ( a car hit me).
I thought the bike was ok, apart from a damaged front wheel, however one of the rear seat stays has cracked near the lug at the seat pin. Here's a pic:

It looks to my untrained eye like a small-ish job.
Since it's my only bike and I need it every day for my commute into work, I was hoping that someone knew of a frame repairer who could do the job on the spot. I'm willing to travel anywhere in London to get this done.
I've tried Mario Vaz but he's saying it will take 4 weeks because of backed up work.

Can anyone help out?

thanks
Ives

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
