London store moving


After 40 years of operating from 25 Tanners Hill we have found that recent demand for our bicycles has forced us to expand and move to a new purpose built factory.

Our new facility will be based in Wales and will enable us create more modern fiber based bicycle frames together with our handbuilt steel bicycle frames which we have made for over 60 years.

If you have a bicycle with us for restoration or you have ordered a new build don?t worry, we will be contacting you as soon as it is ready and will arrange collection from this store.

Our plans will bring to the UK the most advanced bicycle workshop in Europe which will be grounded in our handmade and traditional craftsmanship.

We last had a factory in th 1970s also based in Wales when WITCOMB was at the height of it?s fame, so we hope this change will be equally prosperous.

We?d like to thank all our shop customers for the last 30 years. It is with great sadness we make this move.

Congratulations on the move to Wales but gutted that Witcomb is leaving Deptford.
I will always remember the day in 1978 as a fit 18yr old collecting my beautiful new Witcomb race bike from your shop...ah, happy days.
all the best.

I can't believe you are going!! I used to live at number 19 Tanners hill and bought my bike from you - in fact I was online now only to find out your opening hours to take it back to you for an overhaul - I am so sad.....
best of luck for the future xxxx
