Any suit/helmet suppliers in the South East?

[Chris71]

Can anyone suggest any shops in the South East (better still the North London or Herts type areas) that sell race clothing?

There might be some in or around london, but there is definitely one at silverstone:

I'm told there's a branch of GPR in Chiswick just off the North Circ? That'd be a good call.

ETA It looks like the Chiswick branch has closed down. Still Silverstone isn't a million miles away and it's probably a nicer driver than the A406.

...Even closer still.

Are they any good and can you get to the shop when there's a race on (I'd probably have to go down on a weekend)?

That is one thing that surprises me about the shop at silverstone. I would have thought that opening on Sundays when races are on would be ideal as you could get a stream of racers looking to update kit (aswell as top up supplies of consumables) at a very convenient time, but as far as I can tell it never opens on Sundays.

Stand 21 can be on the pricier side. Not quite local for you but AWS in Ashford are bloody well priced, I just got a tailor made custom suit from them for the price of a decent Sparco.
