When I bought a replacement frame for my brompton, Evans was the only shop I tried who agreed to give me 10% LCC discount on it. It had to be negociated with the manager, but they did it.
The story behind that is that there used to be an agreement among most London bike shops not to offer a 10% discount on bikes, only on parts. This was because smaller shops couldn't afford it. Evans broke this agreement at some point, probably when they became a chain.
