The Info-shop located in Lordship Recreational Grounds in Haringey, North London The maintenance shop would have bicycles, and spare parts as well as accessories for sale; including maintenance and repair service allowing the customer to relax and enjoy a browse through the shop or have a short break (meal/drink) while waiting for the service. Our kitchen will provide food and nutritional drinks which would maximize energy levels and performance in fast and hard working environment, enhancing the possibilities to exercise without feeling tired.
