Witcomb Cycles
Witcomb Cycles in Deptford is the only bicycle framebuilder left in London and one of the very few in the country. They now have their own blog where they have posted a 1974 short film This Week in Britain: The Bespoke Bicycle. As well as lots about the bike workshop, the film also includes some brief 1970s Deptford street scenes.
