The go-to place in London for a moterbike
Vauxhall area can be quite busy traffic wise, avoid rush hours. The shop gets busy at the weekend, if you want to chat through stuff go during the week, if you can.
Ask for Mark Osborn in sales in the Vespa section, he's a hoot !

I bought a new Triumph Thruxton R at Metropolis a few weeks ago. This is the fourth bike I have bought from Metropolis and the third Triumph. The two most recent bikes I bought through Richard. On every occasion I have found the whole set up at Metropolis excellent and the staff in every department to be most friendly and helpful.
I cannot recommend more highly.
Received great service from Mark Osborn in Sales regarding my new Vespa GTS 300 Super purchase. Mark was very friendly, helpful, knowledgable and did give me a good enough deal to change my mind from buying a used bike. I highly recommend.
I recently did a full DAS course with Metropolis, and they made it very easy. I then went on to buy a Yamaha MT-07. Ian made the whole process very easy, choosing accessories etc. When I went to buy the bike, Ian was away, so Rob sorted the whole purchase out. He was also great, and made the whole process very simple, explaining the tracking system, bike, etc.
I would highly recommend going to Metropolis for training and to buy a bike.

Bought a 125cc scooter here. Thank you very much! Great customer service. Special thanks to Mark Osborn for advice and help.I recommend rhis shop to anyone looking to buy old or new scooter/motorcycle.
Metropolis were great at getting me on a motorcycle. I learned to ride here with a full DAS course, and then came back to buy a brand new Yamaha MT-07. Ian was great at helping me choose the bike and recommending accessories etc. He was off when I went to finalise buying the bike, so Rob took over, and he was brilliant as well. Highly recommend buying from these guys.
Metropolis was very helpful from the start. Was really good to test drive different bikes before making my mind up of which bike to buy. When i did, Rob at Triumph quickly sorted me out with a new bike and made it easy to sort everything out and i was very happy with the deal he got me . Was also very handy to get a discount in their large shop where the staff gave good advice and were not pushy . Their proximity to town and transport will also make it handy for future servicing. Metropolis made it a joy to buy a new bike and would definitely recommend them .

Just purchased a Triumph from Metropolis. A big thank you to Rob Sutton who saw me through as a walk in, via a test drive and a sale that I am very happy with. Rob was professional, did what he said he would do, kept me informed by phone and email and shared his great knowledge and personal experience to help me make the right choices (all with a dash of humour). Post sale has been equally good. Thoroughly straight forward and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Rob.
Great bike, great shop, great service. Thanks Rob Sutton.

Had a very pleasant experience in buying our new Triumph. Rob Sutton was incredibly patient and friendly. We got fantastic customer service which is exactly what you need when trying to make an informed, important decision about buying a brand new motorbike! The friendly service right from window-shopping through to being handed over the keys to our new bike was unfaltering. No complaints.
I recently bought a Triumph Scrambler from Metropolis motorcycles and I can't fault the experience. Rob Sutton was extremely helpful and provided excellent customer service - I would recommend him to anyone considering a Triumph. I'll definitely be going back to Metropolis.
There are a lot more factors to consider when buying a new bike than you'd first think and Good pre-sales and after sales service ) despite me buying during the obvious 'busy period' over the summer) made decision making much easier.
although I had a short list I wasn't 100% certain which bike I wanted when I walked in but Rob Sutton guided me through from start to finish and I have ended up with the right bike at the right price.
A pleasure doing business with Metropolis. I dealt with Rob Sutton who ascertained my needs quickly. I found him to be non pushy but listened to my requirements. I ended up purchasing a Triumph Street Triple R and walked out a happy man. I would highly recommend the dealership and more importantly Rob Sutton.
Bought a Nmax off ian, very nice guy and very helpful towards the sale.

I dealt with Rob Sutton who took the time to understand my requirements and was extremely helpful. I was sold on the idea of buying a Triumph Street Triple R and he walked me through the deal which included many additional items from triumph free of charge. If you want to buy from someone with a genuine interest in your requirements, see Rob.

I bought a scooter recently from Metropolis Motorcycles and am happy to recommend them. Rob Sutton oversaw the purchase. He was professional, friendly and patient throughout the process. The service, whether on the shop floor, in the clothing/accessories department or in the garage is always to a very high standard. I don't go anywhere else!

I'm very happy with service of Metropolis. I have a beautiful motorbike , because a salesman Ben was excellent in the attendance. Thank you. I recommend the Metropolis.
Hello fellow bikers!
I've recently purchase a Bike from Metropolis and let's just say what a fantastic customer service I had! I went there during lunch time looking for a bike and Roberto (Rob) Sutton spend 3 hours with me talking and explaining everything about them so well that I bought a Street Triple 3 hours later! He is so knowledgable and passionate that he even told me to call him on his mobile if I need some help.
Thanks again Robert and Metropolis team!
I'll be back! ;-)

Mark Osborn and his team were fantastic and I would highly recommend them. They took the time to find out what sort of scooter I needed rather than just sell me the most expensive one they could get away with. I felt they really listened to me and ended up showing me several bikes, all newly washed and sparklingly clean! I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new or second hand bike.

I recently bought my first motorbike from Metropolis motorcycles and cannot fault the service. Rob Sutton was exceptionally helpful in his assistance with all the silly questions I had as a firsttime ride, and has been helpful since. If you're looking to get a bike, I would recommend metropolis wholeheartedly, and if possible, scout out Rob to assist you with the purchase.
I recently bought a Yamaha at Metropolis, it was a lovely experience: very professional and I received a great pre/post purchase service.
Rob Sutton is the Salesman that welcomed me and helped me chose my bike and equipment, he was very helpful and kind, and assisted throughout the whole purchase.
Bought a Triumph from Rob Sutton. Service was extremely professional and friendly.
Rob was very helpful and gave me great advice on what was the most appropriate bike for me. He was obviously very passionate about bikes and it showed. Would definitely recommend metropolis to anyone interested in purchasing a bike. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Just bought my 2nd motorcycle from these guys! If you go to the Honda dealership ask for Ben Allen. Really good guy and really helpful. Made my choice really easy and was very knowledgable. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy their motorcycle

I bought my first motorcycle at Metropolis in 1994 and my most recent one a month ago. Rob Sutton was fabulous in helping me select the bike I wanted and keeping me posted on progress. He also very patiently helped me select parts to make my bike unique (and very beautiful... a Triumph Thruxton R in Matt black). Rob kept me informed of delivery times, helped me update my clothing and sorted a "back to biking" course.
Most importantly, Rob did everything he said he would: returned calls, sorted financing, was on top of the Triumph, finance and metropolis IT so I wasn't hanging around.
All in all a great experience with a great salesman who at now point seemed to be selling to me. Top marks Rob and I am glad to have met you... and have so much fun!
John Cooney
Fantastic deal and customer service from Rob. He kept in touch and updated me with any information prior to collecting my new bike.
Really friendly and knows his stuff on the Trimph I was buying. Always good when the salesperson has the same bike.
All the staff have been helpful and informative since the test ride through to picking up the bike. So thanks to everyone and a special thanks to Rob

Thanks to Ian Harrington my purchase of the new Yahama MT07 last Saturday has been a smooth and hassle free experience, looking forward to great servicing too as as the case with MT125.
Metropolis Motorcycles the one stop shop- highy recommended - got my clothing, Training for full licence and both MT125 and MT07 motorcycles from here and more importantly all the way along a fantastic service was provided.... thanks Metrolpolis.
I just bought a new Vespa Primavera 125. Mark Osborn made this a great buying experience, really pleased with the customer service! Good advise and smooth process -- also convinced I got a good deal on price as well! Recommended.

Great place to buy. Knowledgable, helpful and not pushy. I bought a Triumph Street Triple a few weeks ago and I would definitely recommend using them.
Rob was helpful and patient with an ageing ex-biker coming back to the fold!
Metropolis has a fantastic stock of motorbikes to choose from and the setting under the arcades in Vauxhall makes it look like alibaba's cavern to the potential buyer that I was. And it's very easy to try them. I chose Triumph and went to Rob Sutton who made the selection process very enjoyable, quick and efficient. Thanks a lot for the advices especially on protecting my new treasure. Rob was very helpful in speeding things so i could get delivery on schedule. On D-day, Rob took all the time to go over the details of the bike and all i have to know about it. And I know he's there for me if I have a question. Great Job Rob. Thanks,
Sales process was clear and well organised. Rob got back quickly and answered all questions. Took a bit of time to get bike through garage for a clean up, but aside from that v. happy with overall service. Would highly recommend and even price matched on some extras I needed.
I bough my first Triumph at Metropolis and the experience couldn't be better.
The staff is prepared and with a white knowledge to guide you trough the process of customising, giving you tips and placing the order.
The only cons was a couple of things outside Metropolis domain, the color I ordered wasn't unavailable until September 2016, but they offered another one whiting a week. The other thing is about some accessories, still waiting for a brown bench and the heated grips... But as I'm saying Metropolis isn't the responsible of that.
The experience picking up the motorcycle was fantastic and Rob was super helpful all the time, since the minute one when I contacted trough email with him until the last minute.
If I decide in the future to go for another bike I'll definitely back to Metropolis.
Many thanks!
My much loved Honda Fireblade was stolen a couple of weeks ago and I was devastated. Based on my previous experience with them at the late and lamented Greenwich branch I contacted Mark Osbourne in sales who found me an ex-demo MT 07 and Mike Bradley ace spannerman who who serviced it to his usual high standard, everything sorted as promised on time, really went the extra mile for me all round. Highly recommended- thanks guys.
I bought a bike from Rob at Metropolis and he was really helpful. I would definitely recommend both him and Metropolis.
Thanks to Ben Allen my purchase of the new NC750S DCT has been a smooth and hassle free experience, looking forward to great servicing too. Highly recommend the guys at Metropolis.
Overall a good experience and the second time I've bought a bike from here. The staff are very knowledgeable and I managed to do the whole thing pretty much over the phone.
Thanks to Rob who was very helpful through the whole process.
I first went to Metropolis to see the new Honda Africa Twin. I was considering the bike for work, I work as a Film Location Manager and needed something that can carry the gear and go anywhere. I bumped into Ben (Allen) the Honda guy at the showroom and was able to discuss the bike at length and some useful comparisons with other brands.
He booked me in for a test ride for a couple of hours the next day, even offered to provide me with a longer period if would help to make an opinion.
Needless to say the bike has been bought and Ben was able to walk me through the various payment facilities to find something suitable and tax efficient. A great help with a sensible view on the other bikes in the class. This was the key point in assisting with the choice.
After a few miles, I can safely say that I am very pleased with the purchase, the bike is fantastic.
Thanks Ben and Metropolis.

Both Ben and Sean are Brilliant to deal with and will be instrumental in my getting my Africa Twin at some point. The gave great and solid advice and discounts and extras for both mine and my daughters bikes. The shop are also fabulous too. Great place and the only place to buy a bike in London
Fantastic service. Needed a scooter for work and found the right one for me there with a help from Ben Allen, a very friendly guy.

Just picked up my new bike from Metropolis - they couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Especially Ian who sold me my J300 and all in the service department - many thanks to you all!
Just picked up my new bike from Ian Harrington at Metropolis. Smooth service and no probs from beginning to end. Can't wait for the warm weather!
Went to Ian a few times to help me out to choose a bike, and ended up buying the bike that best suited me, everything smooth and easy. Just a minor issue which was a misunderstanding but apart from that everything was perfect.
Will come back for sure.
Note: Go to Ian on the Yamaha section, he will sort you out very quick.!
