The 30 Best Running clothes in London

“Eddie and the guys are so good at what they do and it was such an enjoyable experience getting a suit made with them. The final product looked fantastic - all I need to say was that someone stopped me on the street before my wedding, asked where it was from and took my picture. They could charge a lot more than they do - so get there soon before they raise their prices!”

“I was very happy with Luke’s service, his general enthusiasm for products and knowledge was above and beyond what I was expecting, very patient and attentive to customers. Highly recommend to come to get you up and running. ;)”

“By far one of the greatest customer service experiences I have had. The gait analysis was easy to follow and I felt like I left being heard and valued (and with a brand new pair of perfectly fitted running shoes). Will be coming back here to purchase some long distance runners in the near future!”

“Really great service at this running shop! The two guys working there helped me out with a gait analysis and measured my feet to figure out the best shoes for my overpronation. They were super helpful and explained everything clearly. I ended up getting a pair of Saucony running shoes, and I’m loving them so far-they feel really comfortable and supportive. Definitely planning to shop here again next time I need new trainers!”

“Superb! Booked a gait analysis session which was great. Couldn't have asked for more. Very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Lots of shoes to try that were good for me. Very happy with my new running shoes, so much better than buying online.”

“Outstanding service and an excellent setup! They helped my girlfriend, who’s new to running, with a gait analysis and guided her through choosing her first pair of running shoes. The process was quick, professional, and incredibly helpful. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. We'll definitely be returning!”

“Great experience on my first visit to U&R (20-Aug). Good advice that respected my novice trail running experience and concerns I had about footcare. Really delighted with the service and highly recommend U&R.”

“Had such a brilliant experience at Up & Running recently. Brian was an absolute star in helping me to find the exact shoe for a long distance walk I was planning. Thank you Brian - thanks to you I managed to confidently walk those Mallorcan mountain trails for my 50th, with fabulous memories made and not a single blister! Would recommend Up & Running for all your trainer needs - it’s not just for runners!”

“I hardly ever write reviews but felt compelled to after my recent Camilla Ridley purchase. All her dresses (I now have 5!) are stunning! They are so easy to wear and I feel a million dollars every time I wear them. I’ve lost count of the number of compliments I receive when I go out in them. It’s always a pleasure to visit the Barnes shop and have a fitting with Camilla and know that my dress will fit me perfectly! Super service and super team.”

“Great experience with advice on how to pick my first running shoes. Reka was lovely! She did my gait analysis and offered really helpful insight into different shoe options - very knowledgeable!”

“My lovely running group gave me a birthday gift voucher for this shop and recommended it highly and I‘m so pleased they did. I have just had a really good time getting assessed and fitted for running shoes by a brilliant expert in all things running shoe - Michelle. She was so talented that even though the first pair she selected for me was a marriage made in heaven, she encouraged me to try on others just to make sure and to see if the fit could be finessed further. She took a lot of time and made sure everything was right. A real professional and credit to the store. My shoes feel fantastic.”

“Wonderful experience today! Luckily advised by the excellent Freddy who was very helpful with trekking shoe selection and advice on running style! I’ll definitely be back soon for new running trainers.”

“This shop was incredibly busy but the staff were super attentive.This was my first time buying barefoot shoes so i had lots of questions. I was served by the amazing Tibor who helped me find the perfect shoe! He fed back how it should feel and showed me various models and was really patient with me. All in all 10/10 customer service!”

“Fantastic clothing, performing for all types of sports, excellent quality, durable and comfortable. Not to be missed in your sportswear.”

“Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish from Carole and her colleague, towards my friend. Oh the absolute joy of such great customer service and interaction with clients. It’s something that is sadly missing in this world, and you definitely know when you receive this standard of service, as was experienced today. Well worth the journey from Shepperton to Amersham, if only for the great service. My friend was very impressed and delighted with her purchase. We will be back!”

“Nibras, and the rest of the staff were amazing. Throughout my visit they were extremely helpful and patient. Great quality shoes and bags, can’t find it anywhere else.”

“I am a beginner at cricket, and Sports World has equipment which is absolutely fantastic when I'm in the nets and outdoors! It's cheap and good quality! Would recommend to any new comer to cricket.”

“Want to start off by saying thank you Rahul. Was not very sure about some of the trainers, but you were very knowledgeable, helpful and polite. Excellent customer service, 10/10 and helped me get a very nice pair of Nike p6000.”

“Fantastic Teamwear by Macron for football, cricket, hockey, rugby and schools pe kit. Great service and knowledge team.”

“Cliff was lovely, friendly, professional and did a wonderful job of my carpet. Will definitely use them again. But I don't like the fact that the customer is charged £40 if the contractor can't park outside the property. I did find the parking issue stressful.”

“First time I bought shoes was in the nineties and I have come back since and now have 4 or 5 pair from them. All are still in use and in excellent condition. Both gentlemen are very nice and considerate. The son advised me to try on a slightly larger pair and after some testing he proved to be right. I hope the Loake's will go as well as the previous pairs. If you need a pair of shoes for very good value with excellent advise, don't hesitate. Recommended.”

“Very personalised service. Finally a pair of trainers fit for purpose. I’ve had my feet scanned for the perfect fit, which is great. Definitely recommend using this independent store. Good customer service experience.”

“First class experience. I needed my gait analysed to address persistent injury. Initially went to adidas store in Oxford st, but they were useless. Rang these guys. Dom said swing by and we'll squeeze you in. Dom and Jackie were so helpful, didn't rush it, provided a thorough and expert assessment and their advice was incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond. Looking forward to testing out the new gear. Highly recommend. Worth travelling to Putney for!”

“I highly recommend this shop! Thank you Alan for your invaluable time and advice. I had to get a pair of running shoes for my problematic feet (I have scars from surgeries on both of my feet). Alan provided an excellent service assessing my gait and subsequent requirements. I now have pair of running shoes which don’t hurt and should work for me!”

“Ricardo was brilliant today he helped us get a new pair of football boots for my son. He was polite, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He was working so hard assisting so many customers so efficiently. He’s a credit to Decathlon Uxbridge . Keep up the high standard of customer service . We will definitely be back to this store .”

“Sheen Sports printed and delivered +100 t-shirts for St Osmund’s school as part of a charity bike ride. Nick and the team did an amazing job in helping to shape the design and managed the ordering / payment process via their very intuitive website. All t-shirts were individually wrapped and hand delivered. The quality and service was exceptional. I would highly recommend Sheen Sports.”

“I recently purchased from AJ Sports and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The service was fast, the staff was helpful, and the product quality was top-notch. Everything arrived exactly as described, and any questions I had were answered promptly. Highly recommend AJ Sports for anyone looking for great products and reliable customer service. Will definitely shop here again!”

“Great store with a good selection of baseball/softball gloves. And very good salesman who was very helpful to us. Thank you.”

“I have visited this shop twice now to buy cricket equipment for my son. I live in Gravesend so its a bit of a drive but utterly worth it. The knowledge of the shop owners is incredible and the advice they give you in selecting the right equipment is second to none. You will get items cheaper online for sure but will it be the right size, make etc. Shops like this are a rarity and we must do everything we can to support them. I can't wait to visit them again when my next son needs kitting out.”
