Sitting sipping coffee in a bike shop by a canal feels like an Amsterdam moment - except it's happening in London Fields. Lock 7 is the kind of small business that is obvious only to a local. Who else could spot the potential of a forgotten site on the wrong side of the bridge. A local would know it's actually part of the cycle route from Broadway Market to Columbia Road, a route that's become an East London weekend pilgrimage. Although if you ask my advice turn left before you get to Columbia Rd and head for the fun and artistic games of Vyner Street instead.
Founded by two local bike lovers following a trip to Copenhagen it's a business built on love. Love of wheels and wheely good coffee (the cafes own pun - not mine)
The guilt of being a car owner has been quickly put to bed by the esoteric service and I'm in the mood for a long stay and perhaps a little too much homemade cake. Cake that's really rather special.
I could be sometime.
