I've just moved to the Uk for a year from Italy - can anyone recommend a good bike shop for clothing/accessories ?

I'm still getting to grips with English humour ! I was rather hoping for something in a 10 mile radius of Herne Hill, London ?

It's been a while since I've been to a bike shop in London but from past recollection the two that I liked the most were

Evans Cycles - there's a few stores around London, so there should be one pretty close to you.

Condor Cycles. There's a lot of 'top of the range' stuff there. Monty Young, the founder was still the owner the last time I went and is one of the best wheel builders out there. Not sure if he's still there or not of if his kid is running the show now. If you need the 'best of the best' or a bombproof set of wheels this shop could well be worth the trip to the north side of the Thames.
