 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know about the big chains (well Snow&Rock and Ellis Brigham), and I know of 47 degrees, but are there any others you'd recommend?
Thanks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Except that Surbiton isn't really in London! 
To be honest, beyond the bigger branches of S&R or EB (And recent visits to the latter on High St Ken have been far from impressive), there isn't anything IN London. Around London, yes, but in the centre of town, a ski shop just wouldn't make enough money in the off season to afford being there. So, they're not.
FWIW, my pick of the chains would be S&R on either High St Ken or Covent Garden.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Never been to Finches. Worth a trip one day? (It is in London, too! )

Thanks for these. I live a 10 minute train ride from Surbiton so that is super-handy!

Another vote for Ski Europa. I've never been to Finches either, sounds interesting.
Carlos the Slackal, I live near Clapham Junction, and can be in Surbiton in under 20 minutes. I don't think I could get to Forest Hill that quickly!
I like Ski Bartlett too, but it can be a right pain getting there from Sarf London, as I have just found - my skis were being serviced there and I had to abandon my first attempt to collect them last week, as the traffic was so appalling.

+ 1 for Finches.
Nice helpful people , very good advice , can be a little chaotic . Good prices too esp in the summer.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

If you're after boots, then there's Profeet in Fulham.

+ 1 for Finches from me too
helpful, knowledgeable and an extensive range of kit

You know it makes sense.

Ditto Finches.
Apart from being the closest ski shop to where I live, it's friendly with good advice and deceptively large - doesn't look massive from the front but the shop goes back quite a long way so it carries a good range of kit.
