The London Bicycle Workshop

This is an exceptional place to get your bike serviced. I do a lot of my own maintenance but there are some things I can’t do, or a tricky problem I can’t resolve and I’ve used these guys a couple of times now. Every time it’s been sorted perfectly, they’re really good mechanics and I trust them 100%! (The last job they did for me, another well known N London bike shop refused to attempt the repair, saying it was too hard/​impossible to fix. Here, £25 and a couple of hours later and the job was done. Great stuff!)
They also give you good honest advice and their pricing is fair. Coupled with that, although (or perhaps because?!) the shop is small, they have an excellent and carefully selected range of parts and accessories. Also complete bikes for sale, custom builds and wheel building on offer. An all round excellent bike shop!

These guys have really nailed how to run a bicycle workshop! You’ve got the shopkeeper at the front who greets you, then two guys at the back busy working away on various bicycles.
I walked in with my bike and was greeted straight away, asked to wait a few minutes and one of the mechanics would see me. I was having some gear trouble and he put the bike up on the clamp and had a fiddle, then took it for a ride around the block. He was really good and diagnosed the problem quickly. Since my gear unit isn’t being made anymore, getting the parts would be the problem, but if I could track down the parts, they said to just come back and they’d fit it.
I asked ‘how much?’ and the chap said, ‘well, we didn’t fix your problem, so no charge’. That was very decent of them, because I did take up a bit of his time and he successfully diagnosed the problem for me. So great service, I’ll certainly be coming back (good news! I think I found the part I need).
As for the shop, it’s all very clean and minimal. All the parts and accessories on the wall appear to have been chosen for their quality, so I don’t think there’s much chance of people not being satisfied after a visit here.

Great little shop in Clerkenwell. Cheaper and friendlier than nearby Condor, the staff know what they are talking about and aren’t looking to upsell you. They have have small selection of clothing and accessories but the main focus is servicing. I had a full service and new parts fitted with no complaints and I’ll definitely be using them again
