Start with the kind of help you need: a new bike and a test ride, a booked service, or a workshop for an existing machine. This London selection brings together Condor on Gray's Inn Road and two options around Waterloo with different strengths. Branch addresses matter when planning a drop-off, especially when a business also operates online. Compare the verified workshop services, collection options and visiting notes before choosing where to take your bike.
Balfe's Waterloo branch pairs a multi-brand bike shop with a workshop on The Cut. The store offers test rides, electric-bike advice and free collection of online orders, with Cycle to Work purchases also supported. Its workshop is listed as both a Shimano and Bosch service centre, and service slots can be booked online. The branch is open every day, including bank holidays. Check with the Waterloo team before travelling for a particular size or test bike, as the store specifically recommends confirming availability.
Condor combines bicycle retail with an in-store workshop on Gray's Inn Road. Its service menu includes wheel building, bike fitting and bike box hire, alongside repairs for road, hybrid, mountain, electric and single-speed bikes. Brompton owners have a dedicated servicing option. This makes the shop useful for both a new-bike discussion and more involved work on a bike you already own. Workshop visits should be arranged in advance; the published service process asks for drop-off by 10am on the booked day.
This small independent workshop on Hatfields concentrates on bicycle servicing and repairs, with a limited selection of parts and accessories also available. Its website lists custom bicycle builds as another service. For someone who needs work on an existing bike near Waterloo, the early weekday opening and evening hours provide useful drop-off possibilities. Southwark is the nearest station according to the shop's directions. The repair business has its own website and contact details, so use these when arranging work or discussing a repair.
These are selected shops with published premises in London. Use each address to plan the journey, and ask the shop about current stock, workshop lead times or a test ride before setting out. The map displays the shop you select.
For an e-bike repair, confirm the motor system and model with the workshop. A general repair service does not establish support for every electrical system. For Cycle to Work purchases, check your employer’s specific provider with the shop.

About these listings
This is a selected directory of physical bike shops, including independents, chains and community organisations. It includes town-centre premises and showrooms, not only shops on roads named High Street. Coverage is growing; it is not a complete list of every UK shop.
Addresses and listed services are drawn from the linked official shop pages. Listings are not ratings or reports of a visit. Confirm opening hours, stock, repair availability and accessibility directly before travelling. A service not listed here may still be available.
