Look mum no hands! Is a great cycling cafe. The food is delicious, the staff is super friendly and the coffee is excellent. Every cyclist should stop by here while visiting London!

Workshop were great - knew exactly what they were doing and went out of their way to fit me in. Did exactly what they said they would, when they said they would.
Really friendly and thorough option for bike repairs.

Admire this place, open from 8 to 10, and fully utilizing its space along all day.
Coffee in the morning, a wine bar at night, and occasionally big screen cycling events... and a bike workshop space outdoor.
Good Wi-Fi, excellent coffee, and delicious bakery. Even Portuguese pastel de Nata!!
Laptop-friendly. They have both tables for digital people seeking for a space with internet and good coffee and ‘no-laptop’ tables to have a great time with your mates :)

Great, honest and transparent service and you don't feel they are just trying to squeeze a few extra quid out of you! They just love bikes and know what they're talking about. Being a novice I've used more 'high-street' bike retailers that offer a technical service and have had bad experiences but I'll definitely be using these guys for anything to do with my bike! Dave and Paul there are legends!

La Fabrica, Girona has a similar vibe. GF catered for. Bike storage racks available. Key exchange. Awesome place. Workshop and Cafe. Really nice menu. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Good prices (it is London) despite being in London.
Family friendly also. There are plenty of small gifts, jerseys and caps for sale so you can pick up a present for someone.

Great Place for a sit back & relaxed/work to do kinda drink. I visited on the way to KGX, just loved the atmosphere and possibly the best green tea I've ever tasted. Would highly recommend a visit, especially if you like cycling aesthetics.

I walked in with a flat tire, which they fixed quickly, and I cycled off to my gym which is literally 3 minutes away. As I came out of the gym I saw that the tire was flat again, which I was not happy about. A couple days later I went back to show them what happened and the guy at the shop had a look at it, replaced the tube again with a new one and gave me back the bike free of charge, no fuss, happy customer.

Quick stop here whilst on a cycle. They serve coffee from square mile coffee roasters so you know it’s gonna be good!

Some of the best and most friendly bike mechanics in London where you can also pick up phenomenal cake and awesome coffee. Whenever I don't get my bike serviced at LMNH I wish I had and after the Chelsea bun I had here in Saturday, I fear every future cake will be a disappointment. If you're prepared to spend the rest of your life comparing, go.

Combination of bike shop and cafe/bar serving all the kinds of things a cyclist deserves after doing a ton or so, or alternatively 2 miles in London traffic.
A huge selection of pies and salads along with more 'sweet' treats coupled with excellent coffee and a wide selection of craft beers and a welcoming attitude alongside a clearly superbly equipped bike repair shop and a huge amount of entertaining paraphernalia hanging from the walls make this a place I would gladly return to time and again.
Extra points are given however for the innovative use of a Starbucks mug in the restroom!

Just want to say a massive thanks to Sam, the head mechanic and master wheel builder. The guidance provided on selecting the parts for my wheel build was very helpful and the final build quality is perfect! I've done close to 5,000 miles without a single broken spoke or wheel wobble, and just the single puncture using the tubeless system (during The Transcontinental Race). I also love the food being served up whenever I stop by. Keep up the good work!

My favourite bike cafe in London. Great coffee and food, usually filled with the usual cycling crowd. The salad servings are very generous as are the slices of pie or cake. They host lots of cycling events around the year in the evenings or weekends, when they serve drinks - usually a selection of local beers. The tool shop and workshop are pretty good as well, the mechanics are friendly. Though getting a mechanic slot can be hard sometimes.

Great service and selection of drinks (and food, which I didn't get to try). Laptops limited to a strip of tables which helps the ambience.

Such an original place, specially recommended if you are a cycling fan: it is halfway a coffee place/restaurant, a bar and a bicycle repair shop!
Good music and amazing burgers. Also, it offer vegetarian options.

I know the food here is always going to be good since the standards are high. Still, always surprises me how good it is!
Burger cooked perfectly, without even having to ask. Great balance of ingredients, nothing in there for sensation sake. Properly seasoned.
Cake - blackberry, stout and chocolate. Happens to be just one delightful combo on offer today. Goes lovely with a stout.

This has been one of my fav spots in central London, for a coffee or brunch, specially on sunny days as they have a beautiful garden. The quality of the food is good and very well priced. I have taken many of my friends there for the first time and made it one of their fav spots as well.
Pity, I have to give it 3 stars as I recently tried their bike workshop and my experience was not 100% satisfactory. I had to have my derailleur changed and the guy told me it would be £26 for a new derailleur and £10 to fit it in. Unfortunately, when I turned up to pick up my bike they charged me £52. I guess I should have asked why, but I thought they had done a good work and I was in a hurry and didn't want to discuss with anyone as I didn't have proof of the initial price they had told me. I believe it is the right of the costumer to know what they are getting and for how much so this was poor service. I am not sure I will come back, despite I really wanna like this shop.

Fantastic place!
Took my fixed-gear in for a service. Got it back the same day looking and feeling like a brand new bike. The mechanic was super-helpful and friendly. Excellent value too.
The place has a lovely relaxed vibe and the coffee is delicious!

It's starting to feel like you can't move in London for combination Bicycle Repair Place/Café/Clothing Shops. If you like getting your bicycle repaired while eating and buying clothes, you could probably do worse.

Great and friendly service. I needed the brakes on a new try bike swapped around and my old road bike serviced. They managed to squeeze both jobs in the next day and were really helpful throughout the process. Prices were very reasonable - I will definitely be using them again!

Ordered avocado and poached eggs on sour dough. Out came one piece of toast with half an avocado sliced and two COLD poached eggs with a handful of salad greens. All very tasteless. Unimpressed! Should’ve waited at Ozone for a seat.

I like to come and study here every once in a while, though lately it seems they don't want that, since people who bring laptops are supposed to sit at the counter instead of the actual tables.
Regardless, it's a cool place and their warm drinks are pretty good. I've eaten lunch here once and liked it a lot, though I've heard they're known for their breakfast. I'd definitely like to try it!

Best cafe' in London! I go there every morning for my coffee. The whole team there are a bunch of legends. V cool atmosphere, friendly service, great quality coffee, food & they can fix almost any problem with your bike whilst you wait. I'm almost tempted to puncture my tire just so I have another excuse to head there. 10/10

I adore this place. Its large, open-concept dining room with bicycle decor, the lovely choice of fresh food, good coffee, pleasant staff (who are all very good-looking as well!) and the welcoming garage door entrance. They host a lot of events, and really contribute to the cycling community in London. Highly recommended.

Took my bike in for general maintenance. Price is cheaper than Evans and service exceeded all expectations! All the normal stuff plus replaced clips on mud guards, added bar ends (which I'd lost and forgotten about) and moved cables so they'd be more protected. Can't recommend enough. And my fiance likes their lattes!

We ordered a sweatshirt as a Christmas gift, complicated by the fact a family member ordered it as a surprise. Unfortunately it didn't fit and we were offered a refund or exchange. We opted for a refund which took a bit of sorting out as the original card we used to pay for it had been changed. The staff at Look Mum No Hands were excellent, rang us back when they said they would. Excellent service and communication and matter quickly resolved. First class customer service! Thanks Guys x
Ps with service like this it makes you want to go back
