This is a very cheap shop and id say its 50% off rrp of other shops. The only disadvantage of this shop is they have alot of rude workers who dont want to help you. You can pick a decent pair of mens jeans up for £10 or a decent pair of trainers up for £20.

They carry a brand of walking shoe I like and can't find in the US for a very reasonable price so I…read morealways buy a pair every time I am in London. Prices are reasonable, good location and good selection. Service could be better, you have to find a rep to have them call up to have your size sent down and sometimes it's a pain to find a sales associate and when they order a pair down sometimes the sales rep forgets about you and you have to track them down.

So this is a tiny tiny Nike store in terms of merchandise and size, but they organise running…read moregroups four times a week for all sorts of runners. Mondays: Women's 5K or 7K. Wednesdays: Mixed 5K, 7K, 10K. Friday mornings: Mixed, 7K. Sunday mornings: LONG ASS RUNS. This is also in addition to the Nike Training Club classes! Pretty impressive for a small store, I'll say. I go primarily to the Monday sessions and do the 7K, which is a normal, short-ish running distance for me. But you'll get an entirely different workout with the pacers, who make you do all sorts of intervals and sometimes all-body training. It's a great workout while also being a lot of fun. The huge thing is that the pacers aren't your annoying, cliche perky cheerleaders; they're actually down-to-earth, relaxed, and amazing at what they do. They'll take care of the whole group and let you work at your pace. If you're faster, they add in extra workouts to challenge you; if you're slower, they will stay with you and figure out how to guide the group so that you'll be able to catch up. Everyone's really friendly, too. Not the type of competitive atmosphere you'd expect! So if you're ever thinking of trying to run shorter or longer distances more regularly with the support of a friendly group, definitely pop by one of the days they run together. If you can't make those specific days, they also encourage you to check out the store on Oxford Street that runs Tuesdays and Thursdays (ladies), though having been to the other one once I'd say that this one is more organised and more like a collective. And did I mention that after 10 runs, you get a free T-shirt? I know what this sounds like, but I PROMISE I'm not being sponsored by them. I'm just SO STOKED by what they offer and just can't believe that more people don't take advantage of this!! Oh, and I guess their stuff is pretty nice and slick, too. ;)

Of all of my global travels & shopping, I experienced the THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE in this Nike…read morestore. Here's my story. I bought a pair of sneakers here and unbeknownst to me at that time, they were half size too small. I wore them the next day and walked over 9 miles around London. By the end of the day my toes were so much in pain that I went straight back to the same store to buy another pair just in a bigger size. This is where THOMAS, THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDER EVER, comes to into the picture. He professionally explained the sizing for me and guided me to the correct size. I thanked him and asked if there's a way to make an exchange instead of buying another £129 pair to replace the ones I didn't need and he told me that it's not the norm, but considering the situation he will make the exchange. I didn't have the box or receipt with me so I offered to go to my hotel to pick them up. Thomas said that he doesn't need the box because the shoes cannot be sold again and asked if I had a mobile bank statement to proof my purchase. Thanks to Amex app, I pulled up the receipt and walked away with perfect pair and happy face. The moral of the story is that a combination of a great company like Nike, that allows their employees to make decisions based on each situation and doesn't strangle them with strict guidelines; and a fantastic employee like Thomas, who has the capacity to see the big picture and creativity to find a solution, is a winning combination. I will keep buying Nike product and when in London only shop in their Neal Street store. And I truly wish there were more retailers and employees like Nike & Thomas! Thank you both!

Splendid customer service with positive energy attitude . Always appreciated the great serviceread more

I love you Decathlon!…read more Decathlon makes me sporty. OK - so I am (was) anything but sporty. But living next to Decathlon has forced me to become a (half) Marathon runner and a regular hiker. Decathlon does a great job of selling. Products are among the most competitively priced and the quality is not too compromised on either. For some reason, I always thought otherwise. Maybe because it's French? They never run out of stock for some reason. Good inventory management. The staff is very friendly. I have almost never had trouble finding what I need. They've always gone that extra mile to make sure I get what I'm looking for. Really glad to have Decathlon for a neighbor.

it is a great shop with a wide range of clothes and shoes to look through and to try on but one of…read morethe downsides to it is most of the staff are always busy and act like they don't want to help you but other than that it is a good shop

JD sport chain found on the Bromley high street rather than the shopping centre…read more A couple of levels selling mens, womens and kids sporting footwear and clothing. Probably best known for selling a variety of name brands so can be expensive. Sale times prices a bit more palatable but generally you come her for the quality name brand stuff. Popular with the kids for their string shopping bags (or has that fashion now passed??!!). Usually have staff floating around but, beware, they have their sections, assistant in the footwear will be challenged to help you if you want a pair of mens jogging bottoms. Good space, clean and bright.

This is a big sport shop at Southside Shopping Center. All kind of sporting goods and accessories…read more A lot of choices to choose from. Very good price too.

Prior to its arrival at Southside, I was unfamiliar with Decathlon. It had been there for a couple…read moremonths, before I ventured in to peek around, wary from most all previous life experiences with sporty/outdoorsy stores. I was surprised. It was different. A mecca of own-brand + nice branded items for all sorts of athletic pursuits from walking and running to cycling, yoga, all sorts of sportsball apparatus, etc. for women, men, & children. It's a bit like a Lidl, but nicer, for sporty stuff. When shopping for a helmet and lock for my new foray into biking in the city, the cycling department staff were really helpful and kind. Even though I had lots of questions, they happily helped. Each department seems to have knowledgeable staff. Prices here are great. Very affordable and incredibly competitive. The store is quite big, spread over 2 floors. My only complaint is the checkout staff seem to always be aloof and the opposite of the helpful staff from the rest of the store. But, apart from that, I think this shop is a keeper.

Blacks is a more upmarket shop selling gear for outdoor activities. I usually look in Millets first…read moreacross the road as it's cheaper and then Blacks. At the end of the ski season, my sister and I hit Blacks, looking for ski gear. We're not slaves to the latest styles and are quite happy to be a season out of date fashion-wise. Otherwise, I find it so hard to pay such a huge amount of money for things like a ski jacket, which I'll only wear for one week or at most 2 weeks a year. There is also lots of stuff for walking, hikers, climbers and campers.

Gone there when the hiking boots were on sale and pick up some real bargain…read more The shops carries a wide selection of merchandise from the high end to the more affordable range which makes it very useful as a one-stop​ shop for camping stuff.
