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. -

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)

That's pretty much my commute. Lots of traffic and traffic lights though.
Would be quieter to carry on Fleet Street until Shoe Lane and then head through smithsfield and golden lane estate.
Although having said that, the last time I tried it there were building works blocking part of shoe lane. You could go up new fetter lane instead although you'll hit more traffic and a big set of lights.. -

A random selection of stuff that could do with a new home.
Rapha Brevet short sleeved jersey - large - Navy with pink and reflective white stripes. Lots of pockets but also lots of bobbles £20
Chapeau gilet - medium - Black with reflective vertical stripes. Good condition. £20.Wahoo Rflkt computer - needs a smartphone (says iPhone on the box but I used Android) with a Wahoo app. The sensors need to be able to communicate with the phone so most likely bluetooth. I used Wahoo HR, speed and cadence sensors. Coin battery. I initially had a problem with it communicating with the phone in my jersey pocket but then I read it works best for some phones if they aren't flat against your back - I used to just make sure there was something in the pocket between my back and the phone. £20
Look keo grid cleats - red - cleats have been used for one or maybe two rides. Hardware hasn't been used. £6
Cogs £4 each - don't seem to have had much use:
Miche 17t 3/32 (this one is slightly tarnished from storage)
Unbranded 17t 1/8
Unbranded 19t 3/32Chainrings £5 each - all 130bcd
Shimano 53t (for double)
Unbranded 46t
Shimano 39tTektro levers - one of the barrel adjusters is a bit tarnished from storage - £5
Quill stems - £free
Kalloy 100mm
SR 80mm
Sakae 80mmGiant drop bars - a bit scruffy - 44mm wide, 90mm reach 130mm drop - £free

Yeah, I have a self-interest in the details too. Mine and my girlfriend's 7 days is up now-ish although I'm still feeling breathless and lethargic so I'm not leaving the house.
The kids have had no symptoms so are still under 14 day rules.
