Their close proximity guarantees good browsing! But all three are guilty of telling you what they think you want to hear; all of them have told me at one time or another that Leica lenses beat Canon L's hollow; or that Contax G's are rubbish. So take their sales-gush with a grain of salt. Most of London's other camera shops are also within close walking distance if you want to make a real day of it! Fieldgrass and Gale is not really a shop but a mail order office buried in a South London business village; you can visit, but its not very interesting. My favourite? Classic Leica.
