Herne Hill Sports - Running, Tennis and racket restringing specialist

"Had a great experience visiting the shop today. I was looking for a specific racket as a gift for a family member and called up in advance to check stock availability. Upon entering the store, I was helped by a friendly staff member named Tom. With me being a complete novice to the sport, he advised me on the recommended string tension, grip size etc. based on my cousin’s experience and hand size. Unfortunately, I was made aware that stringing the racket is normally a service that has a 24 hour turn around time, but as I was not local to the area and was just passing, Tom said he would do it then in between serving customers. Had a really informative chat picking his brains as he was stringing the racket. All done within 10-15 mins! Great service, knowledgeable approachable staff. Makes a massive difference compared to other stores. Would recommend to everyone. Worth making that trip out there just for the great service, thanks again!"

"Pete was brilliant. We talked about how best to get back into jogging after a 2 year break. He looked closely at my worn-out New Balance shoe, identified it as neutral, watched me jog, and his first choice was spot on. Really stable, very comfortable and at the market rate plus 10% off for joining the mailing list. Great service & product. Loads of experience Zero pressure to buy. The holy trinity of any retail, I’d say. Thanks, Pete. Felix"

"Excellent friendly help! I have just got back into tennis after years away from the sport. I explained what I wanted from a racket and they pointed me in the right direction with demoing a racket. I tried out 5 rackets until and never felt rushed to choose one that suited my play style with great recommendations by the team. When I chose the one I wanted it was strung and gripped within a few hours ready for me to pick up. Can't recommend enough."

"Professional service when I turned up on a Sunday morning with a hole for a racket. They had it ready for collection by the afternoon. The shop itself is a haven of temptation; will be sure to buy my next racket frame from there."

"Utilised their handy racket loaning service to help me choose the right tennis racket to buy. The team were really knowledgeable when advising on which rackets to go for. And then they helped me out enormously by getting the stringing done ahead of time before I went away. All round top service."
