The worst tailor / business owner I have ever encountered. Took a suit in for alteration, was told…read moreit would take 3 days. 6 weeks and countless excuses later I manage to get the suit back. Some alterations were done ok, others done very badly. The one I had the most problem with was that the sleeves were very puckered where they had been taken out, the body altered and sleeves sown back into the shoulder. Understandably after waiting so long and with the resulting quality of work I really didn't want him to do anymore on the suit, it's unwearable as it is, but someone else hopefully might still be able to fix it. I went back and asked for money back on badly done repair, explaining all the reasons why I didn't want him to try and fix it himself. After a heated argument, he still really didn't understand why a) I didn't want him to carry out the work b) why I wanted to get it fixed elsewhere, his reply to which was that no one else in the area could do it and c) why I wanted some money back to pay for the further work needed. He blamed cheap material (for the record it was a £500 Paul Smith suit), and said I was just trying to get money. I was flatly and rudely refused any money back, there was no apology for the appalling service I had received and was told if I didn't like how he did business to f**k off and find another tailor. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

0 stars. Negative stars if I could. In fact, let's just call it 'minus 3'…read more I divide my time between Italy, Canada, and occasionally the UK. Over last Christmas, I took a brand-new, unused winter coat to this dry cleaner to have it taken in--a simple tailoring job for which I pre-paid an additional £50 or so. The tailor measured me in person, and I expected a professional result. Instead, I got what was, in my opinion, the worst hack job I've ever seen. The coat hung awkwardly and was completely botched. I politely asked the owner to fix it, and the owner agreed without issue. When I went to collect it, they had shuttered for the holidays, leaving me without my new winter coat for my entire stay in London. Upon returning to Italy, I called to ensure my coat would be safe until I could retrieve it. The owner assured me it would be kept securely, and I even asked a friend to stop by, and he did, not more than a few months later. A woman at the shop told my friend the owner was away for a holiday. Another time he went by, and the shop was closed for yet another occasion. Bad luck? Meanwhile, caught up with work in Italy, I couldn't get back to London. Then seven weeks ago, I called to remind them of my coat. The owner claimed it had been moved "downstairs" but promised to bring it back upstairs and keep it safe until I returned. I told him I'd try to come within three weeks work permitting, but likely I wouldn't be able to collect it until the holidays. He agreed. Fast-forward to today: I call a number of times since arriving in London for Christmas, and no-one answers. Finally I manage to get through, only for the owner tell me that it turns out they 'gave my coat to charity' -- my brand-new unused $300 coat plus the £50 I paid for tailoring was gone, and had been for months -- even when I had called back in October. He dismissively pointed to their "policy" of only holding items for three months--something that was never communicated to me, but lost all its meaning when he agreed to hold it for me given my circumstances -- a legal fact they don't seem to understand when I told him he owed me for the costs plus repairs.. Regardless, without a winter coat I had intended to wear during my visit, not only did these (in my opinion) utterly contemptible morons fail the tailoring, but either sold the coat or ruined it and may even be using the "gave it to charity" excuse to cover their tracks? Who knows. Naturally I just want my coat back, but that's clearly never going to happen. So if you want to be jerked around with ever-shifting opening times, have your clothes ruined or disappear, given to charity, or just be lied to or given false assurances about looking after your stuff, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I would AVOID at all costs.

I've subsequently had them remove squirrels from my loft at home in Swiss Cottage. They placed traps in the loft and caught the squirrels that same night. I'm very happy with the service they have provided thus far, to the point I've made a booking to fumigate my in-laws house against carpet moths. I'm confident I won't be disappointed. A friend also used them last year to do a heat treatment for bedbugs in a room of his house, and as with me he too was singing pest control london 24 praises. Very professional and well priced.

I knew of two studios in London that totally encompassed the above, now I know of three. Special Yoga Centre is indeed special. They are a full time studio running a huge variety of yoga styles seven days a week. On top of classes there are an impressive selection of workshops covering spiritual and holistic sessions to entice the most ardent hippie. So whether you want yoga, meditation, therapy or an afternoon of chanting, you'll find it here. The studios themselves are full of equipment for yogi's, heated to a comfortable temperature and very picturesque. Classes cost a little over £10 depending on what you do, whilst monthly contracts are around £75 for an open ticket to practice when you please. At the moment they are running a 10 day open pass for £10 which is mind-bogglingly good value for money. Special Yoga Centre has to be in the top five centres in London. Great place.
