  Try the Hackney Peddler in Stoke Newington: http://www.thehackneypeddler.co.uk/
  They have quite a large stock and are friendly.

  It is quite far from Hammersmith but there's another one nearbyish called Pedal Pedlar (https://www.pedalpedlar.co.uk/pages/abou­t) on Balls Pond Road so you could visit both.
  I've never been to Pedal Pedlar so I don't know what it's like.

• Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

  I've got one of the khaki green fixed ones from about 10 years ago. is that what mean?

• Which tool?

  I'm pretty sure all the carbon campag chainsets use Torx rather than hex/allen bolts. I got one of these T30 bits for mine:

  Btw, the bolts are relatively expensive to replace (2 of mine fell out without me noticing)

  I don't know about the outers, but the inners shouldn't fit nicely in the lever because the cable end is a different size/shape (not that I've ever tried - maybe it will fit...)

  I like it too. It's getting a "You have exceeded your request quota for this API" from googlemaps. Hopefully he can sort it out. Perhaps he needs donations...

  I think it's because of the extinction rebellion protest - I had a very nice cycle along fleet street this morning (after a nightmare getting down chancery lane)

  A501 is marylebone road so will be very busy and grim.
  A40 is oxford street so full of buses and the most oblivious pedestrians.

  I'd go Wigmore street -> gower street -> old street. It'll be pretty busy but still loads better than the tube
