Does anyone know a good place in the City where I can get leathers/boots? Start my DAs on Saturday and want to get a few bits. Have seen Sidi Black Rain Evo boots at George White's for £134.95.
Does this sound ok.

Thanks for any advice,

Chilli.

George Whites (Shoreditch) is the only bike shop near the city that I know of. Metropolis was based on Cannon Street (EC4) but closed a long time ago, although some internet searches still show it. Have a read of something like Ride to get some kit recommendations before you go shopping or ideally find a biker to go with you.

Good luck,

Steve.

There is a Yamaha and a Honda dealer in Shoreditch High Street that stock leathers. These places might be able to help you.

There is still a shop at Cannon St, just around the corner from the main entrance down towards the river (located where the old Metropolis was). I'll be going there to buy a lock today, as got my first new bike last night.....

Went to George Whites, and got the boots! Served by an absolute stunning blonde, so even better! Highky recommend the shop...plenty of choices and quality service!
Have to start looking for the bike now!
