Every Decathlon has a weird corner. At Surrey Quays, it’s the horse riding gear in the back. In a city of 8 million people, who is buying saddles? No clue. But they have three sizes.
Then you find the fishing rods next to the camping stoves. It’s like they expect you to kayak to work and cook your lunch on the way. London dreamers, unite.
My favourite oddity? The cheap sunglasses rack. They’re £3. They break in a week. But you buy them anyway because the colours scream “I’m going to do something active!”

The Changing Room Drama
The changing rooms have no doors. Just thick curtains. People treat them like private concert venues.
I once heard a guy singing “Eye of the Tiger” while trying on running tights. He wasn't joking. He was motivating himself. Respect.
And the mirrors? They are strategically placed. You see your posture, your potential, and your very confused face when you can’t work a zipper.
