Canada Water Retail Park, Surrey Quays, SE16
Tel: 020 7394 2000

This is a massive shop the size of a warehouse.  The outdoor sports section has a whole wall of skates ranging from the cheapest of the cheap to quality recreational skates.  They stock K2, Salomon, Rossignol, Technica, Hypno, Rollerblade, etc.  They even have a _small_ amount of low-end hockey kit.  I've heard quite a few people comment that this is a good place to come try skates on because of the huge range of available skates, and that they've received excellent service and good discounts here.

The Skate Shop at the Streatham Ice Arena

This shop is located inside the Ice Arena opposite the ticket shop, and is near the Streatham Bus Garage and the Kart Racing.  I was very impressed with this shop when I bought some hockey skates there on 13-10-2000.  The owner kept his shop open an extra half hour just for us, and really gave us excellent service every time we've visited him.  He is very knowledgeable in hockey and quick to share information.  The prices are generally pretty good here, and they are not out to take your last pound, although you should always shop around and check prices first.  The shop concentrates on hockey kit for both inline and ice, but does have recreational and aggressive inline skates as well.
