Not so local as the one under Peckham Arch but very close to a good coffee shop (see pic). This is Cafe Crol and it is at the junction of Dunton Road and Lynton Road on Quietway 1, London's best quietway. This free pit stop for bikes is funded by Southwark Cyclists and staffed by our volunteers under the supervision of south-east London's top pro mechanic (second pic).

They carry small parts such as cables and fix a lot of stuff by knowing what to do. They give advice -- "you need new brakes" and "you should clean your chain" being typical findings. They will fit parts if you bring them with you so if you know or suspect that you need new brake pads then bring them along.

The knowledge base on display is impressive and if you decide you want to know more they will re-direct you to our indoor sessions with hands-on help and tuition. These are in the Lettsom Tenants Hall at 114 Vestry Road SE5 8PQ.

The Dr Bike on the 25th is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-quietway-1-4/ and the next session of tuition on May 7th is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition/

  Quicker than a car…crikey how fast do they go? I have PTSD from a folding bike I had as a kid that snapped in half when I did a jump! I look at things like this and Bromptons and get the fear which is why I stick to sturdier bikes!

  Earl…that isn’t misinformation it comes from the very report the 20% increase (in cycling stages) claim was taken from and regurgitated by many without actually checking the facts. Unless, of course, you are saying that TFL is spreading misinformation….;-) Here are all the reports: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/travel-in-london-reports Then scroll down to the Travel in London 2023 - Active Travel trends (pasted below to make it easy for you to find) and then you’ll find everything I have quoted from page 13…. https://content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-london-2023-active-travel-trends-acc.pdf And I am actually shocked that, despite all the investment, that growth has been minimal…hardly the 10x growth Will Norman claimed was coming….. Cycling made up 4.5 per cent of trips in London on an average day in 2022, up from 3.6 per cent in 2019.

  Because it's affordable and plenty of choice. It's a changing and will continue to do so. As with most areas going through the gentrification process it will be all about the night time economy meaning a saturation of drinking holes and ' cool and vibrant ' licensed eateries. Brixton mark 2. I think Covid slowed down the pace of change in the next ' up and coming ' areas and has given many prospective ventures itchy feet and pause for thought because there's less footfall and disposable cash than there was pre covid. Brixton for example is much quieter and visibly down on numbers in both bars and eateries. Across London clubs and music venues are dropping like flies.
