...they're not large though
http://www.sigmasport.co.uk/ is a bit outside london (30 minutes from waterloo, nice places nearby for a meal/drink so can be a morning/lunch trip), but large and has an excellent range of stuff that is not found in most stores (argon 18, castelli, enve etc. etc. etc.)

waterloo cut evans is the "roadie" store from the evans chain. mostly non italian bikes, groupos, gear, clothes etc..
theres also cyclesurgery in holborn that has decent stuff. wilier, assos, gear, groupo, giant cubeDogma

+1 for Condors.0

yep +2 for Condor (BTW the bikes are downstairs)
Brick lane Bikes for singlespeed heaven It's on bethnal Green road i think
Cycle Surgery is a good big shop like an Evans
You'll find Cycle Surgery and Evans at Spittalfields
BTW there are Boris Bike stations at all these shops so get yourself on a Boris if you don't have a bike with you. Condor is quite awkward to get to by tube the closest stop is Farringdon then a 5 -10 min walkEnough bikes to open a bike shop but always room for one more...0 -
Simplest way to get to Condor by tube is Chancery Lane on Central Line - you just walk in a straight line along Greys Inn Road from there - not more than 10 minutes. From Farringdon is a bit twisty, turny!

...But I don't think they are open on a Sunday, if that is the day you are popping up to town...
