Can anyone lend me a Brompton?

Hi, I'm toying with buying a Brompton but want to give one a test run for a month or so to see if I'll really use it. Wondering if anyone has one that they don't use at present who would consider loaning it out for a small fee? It won't get ridden much - just home from central London three times a week. If I'm good. PM me if you do please!

I would think you will find due to the cost of a Brompton that their owners would be a bit hesitant to lend one out. Peckham train station used to have a hire scheme where you could hire for the day or a few hours. Google Brompton hire and see what comes up. Mine is so precious to me I won't even let family borrow it.

Info on website;

Evans Cycles in East Dulwich will lend you a Brompton for 24 hrs for free. You give them two pieces of ID ? one including a photo ? and they give you the bike. Their address is 48A East Dulwich Road SE22 9AN and their phone no is 0203 040 4830. Open 8 till 8

    • I agree re rents, but I don't think you can compare Croydon and Bromley with East Dulwich. Different kettles of fish. They both had, or possibly still have, big what used to be called "shopping centres" rather than just high streets. I think the one in Croydon is being "regenerated" or whatever the word is, isn't it? Also shopping habits are changing. Where once you would go to a physical  shop to buy things, now many things are bought online, where apart from the convenience there is more choice, and you can easily compare prices and see reviews. Re Lidl in Dulwich, I knew a very well off person with a house on the Thames in London plus various other places including a flat in Venice (!), who shopped in Lidl because she said their parmesan was excellent 😀 My grandmother used to be very sniffy about M&S (in the days before it became known by its initials) 😀 I think it would be great to have a Lidl nearer than Camberwell or Peckham, but I can't see it happening, sadly. I'd also like to see a Waitrose, preferably replacing Sainsbury's, but that isn't going to happen either, also sadly.
    • An Aldi or Lidl at the Harvester site would be useful. But, there’s a Lidl close by in Peckham.
