Balfe's Bikes - Waterloo Reviews 

This was my second bike purchase from Balfe's in 12months. Despite finding the one I was after cheaper elsewhere, I called in to see if they could get close on price, due to previous experience (which they did).
On the phone and in person, everyone was easy going and helpful.
Should probably stop buying bikes now, but Balfe's are my default for servicing and kit.

Big thanks to Peter at Balfe’s bikes in Waterloo. Saved me from a rather unpleasant ride home.
Great service
Thanks guys

I recently bought a Brompton using the Cycle2Work scheme through Balfe's Bikes, and the entire experience was incredibly smooth and straightforward.

The sales team provided excellent advice from start to finish. A special thanks to James, who went above and beyond by letting me know a new version of the bike was about to be released and asking if I preferred to wait for it. His transparency was fantastic, and the team made the voucher process completely clear and stress-free.

I received regular order status updates throughout the wait, and the delivery service was seamless. It has been an absolute joy dealing with such a professional and pleasant company from initial enquiry right through to delivery. Highly recommended!

Great efficient service and friendly staff.

I needed a damage assessment for my bike insurance. They were helpful and accommodating, four stars because it took a while, which I guess is due to them being in a busy location. And bike shops becoming a dying breed in London.

Hi,
I visited the Waterloo Balfe’s Bikes store because the handlebar on my Specialized e-bike was wobbling. I believed it needed a new star nut, which I explained to the mechanic after he initially wasn’t sure what the issue was.
He then replaced the star nut, which took around 10 minutes. However, I was charged £23 for this relatively quick and simple job, which I don’t feel is a fair price. There was also no clear pricing displayed for this type of repair.
I appreciate that the issue was resolved, but the cost felt quite high for the work involved—especially as I was assisting by holding the handlebar during the repair. I’d recommend more transparency around pricing for small jobs like this.

Ordered and collected within a few days from local store.

I was seriously impressed with the service and help that I got from the team at Balfe's bikes when I dropped in this morning. My day visiting some Veterans looked in doubt as my Gears had stopped working. Nothing seemed too much trouble and despite their work load they kindly fitted a new gear cable for me and fixed the issue swiftly. This is definitely the go to place for Cylists in London. Stella service from very pleasant and highly skilled people.
Bravo Balfe's

Very friendly, helped to choose all components and the bike, and helped with details for the cycle to work scheme - they had everything needed from cleaning supplies to the bike, so it's great with cycle to work scheme.

These guys are professional and knowledgeable about bikes. The advice is excellent and the workshop is in the shop, which means they fit stuff on th spot.

If you are looking for a very cheap bike, go online. If you want to buy the right bike, go to Balfes

Great service. Ordered some gloves on lunch time and they arrived at the Waterloo branch by 11 the next day. Swift service

Great guys, really good advise and service. They know about bikes and tell you all about it

The service I get from the guys in the Waterloo branch is brilliant. From when you enter the store to updating you for collection.
