    For some reason there seems to be 2-3 evans cycles around Victoria Station, probably to do with the amount of commuters coming in and out of there, pretty good selection.

    1 dont go to cyclefit... its not really a bike shop its a boutique and they re very snotty if you re not buying a £5k bike !!!! i usedto rid efor the club they sponsor

    nice bikes to look at but no kit/ gear etc.

    2 definitely go to condor cycles... excellent shop with road bikes, fixed / SS stuff, great selection of clothing from campagnolo, giordana, assos and a wall of cool road shoes !!!

    3 Evans is pretty average, if you go to one go to one of the larger stores.

    4 sigma sport in hampton wick near kingston is a great shop too for lightweight road stuff and gear.

    Condor and Brick Lane are worth checking out alright, but they aint cheap.

    * Ealing Cycles, just off to the south of Ealing Broadway at the triangle, are good.
    * Had a bad experience with Evans in Chiswick
