London markets - second-hand bikes

[Matthew Myatt]

Hello all,

Does anyone know of any markets (or other places) in London that are particularly good for buying
second-hand bikes?

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

I was recommended that Brick Lane market would be good for secondhand bicycles. The day I went there
were two or three traders with bicycles, but all of them were either old junk or new junk. I haven't
been since, but I can't recommend it on my experience.

Conscientious objection is hard work in an economic war.

Psst ... 'ere mate, wanna buy a luvverly pair of wheels?

If the question means you've had a bike stolen, good luck. If it means you're trying to get one off
your hands .. the opposite. If neither of the above, be very careful!
