Not quite in London,but Oakwood tackle shop.It is very near Oakwood tube station and has a very good stock.

Tommy,Not far from London,KC Angling at Sutton,hard to beat for stock,run by propper anglers,for anglers.dont expect a discount though.lol.

have to dissagree with you on KC being big and well stocked.We traveled some distance to visit this shop, it is a small shop, with a fair amount of stock,the staff where a middle aged lady who had very limited knowledge of angling products and a spotty teenager, our selection of items came to £102.37, we asked for small discount and where refused and had to pay £102.37!
we drove onto beckenham?? here we found a very well stocked shop, good staff and 10% discount.

Oakwood Angling is very well stocked with the added bonus of that the staff actually know what they are talking about.
Close to Cockfosters underground train station wich is on the Picadilly line, if my memory is correct.

Its only owned by Steve Sanders and Steve Gardener both England international and Dorking anglers.not much experiance there then,you just turned up on their day off,i did say you wouldn’t get a discount,why is that do you think?

Thank´s for all the advice

There you go Yorkshire, you went on the wrong day. Might be worth a phone call next time to synchronise your visit with the shift of somebody who know’s what they are talking about. ~think

~think A bit of a theme running with Yorkshire and anything South. Get that 56lb bag of spuds off your shoulder!

Yorkshire – Do they give you a 10% discount when you shop in Lidles?

[Swannie]

Tommy..id steer clear of London, your probably get mugged before you reach the tackle shops lol!!

[TF_Decaff]

Another vote for Oakwood Angling,not a massive shop but they have a lot of stock & in Pete Vasey one of the most knowledgable anglers around.

no, but they price match at my local liddles so
in a sense they offer even more, asda offer a price match, and wilkinsons offer a 30 day no quibble refund even if the item is used, some of this tat angling shops sell you need a 30 day no quible guarantee.

in my experiance mugged both out of the shop and in the shop!!

visit yorkshire matey much better shops, bigger choice, and they know how to discount.

[Daddy BParticipant]

To be fair, KC is probably best avoided on a Wednesday if you want advice on your purchases, being a match day. I made the schoolboy error of forgetting this one day this Winter when I wanted a load of quality maggots, and drove the 20 miles from home in mid-afternoon only to find the shop was closed.
