A friend is looking to buy their first pair of shoes and my two shop recommendations, CMK and Urban Rock, are no longer (at least I assume urban Rock are no longer, as I can't find them online anywhere?). Does anyone have any recommendations for a good shop in or around London that will give good advice and not sell them a wildly inappropriate or poorly-fitting pair of shoes?

I think the Rock On shop at Mile End is supposed to have a good range

+1 for Rock On. Great range of shoes

Rock On at Mile End is the only real climbing shop remaining in London. They have a large range and good staff.

Sad, but true used to be many. 

Rock On will give very good advice

Less true if you count the Castle's shop...

Thanks all, Rock On it is. It's a shame that Urban Rock and CMK have both closed - I had good shoe advice from both in the past, particularly CMK a few years ago who were fantastic.
