Retro Bike photoshoot location, any ideas?

[SIMONFREESE]

I have been asked to have my portrait taken for work, and the idea is that the image should show me doing something outside of work.

So I'm looking for a cycle shop in London / South East that will provide a nice backdrop, and give me an excuse to go and have a look

I'm keen to avoid the fixed wheel / Hipster / whatever is currently in fashion type of establishment, as I have to have the photograph taken in the next month and will not have enough time to grow a suitably large hairy chin extension.

So anyone got any ideas of good shops that would fit the bill? Vintage road bikes would be fine, as would a frame builder / traditional bike shop with some character.

Thanks in advance for any forthcoming ideas.

Re:

Thank you,looks perfect. Would you happen to know Skinny Eric's name on here so that I can maybe PM him? The photo will reach a lot of people so will be a good advert hopefully!
