Ok, so who bothers to write reviews for locksmiths? I DO! Especially for Surrey Quays Locks who are…read moreabsolutely awesome. I think it's a family run business (there are definitely a few people there who look like they share the same gene pool, that's how I'm basing my guess here). They fitted the locks on my new house last year. They were efficient and really reasonably priced. If you live nearby, ie, in Surrey Quays, Canada Water, Rotherhithe, Bermondsey, there's a whole host of other stuff on offer in the shop like key cutting, shoe repairs etc. They fixed my very high heeled boot once immediately when I was on the move and the zip broke (=awesome) so I could carry on with my night and head out. They also cut keys, and it's cheap. Every set I've had made up works perfectly. You'd be "locky" to know these guys. Mwa ha ha....

Other pieces of interest include a few trophies of varying sizes you might just want to have "Muppet of the Year" engraved on to for a birthday present. Timpson also have several high quality tote umbrellas on sale for around £13, possibly the most reliable examples within the notoriously unreliable British weather system. If your watch is running low on batteries or has a scratched strap you could address both these issues at Timpson too within a few minutes.

Just had some Capped Oxfords refurbed by James'. I realised a few years ago that leather soled…read moreshoes are a bad idea in the U.K. 5 minutes in the rain and you have wet feet. This and you just don't get the mileage out of leather soles. Which means you keep needing to replace them as well as having wet feet which is expensive as well as damp. I've had this pair a few years and rarely wear them but they're very comfortable and so I thought I'd give them a new lease of life. I have also been thinking about switching a few pairs of my leather soled shoes to Dainite soles which are the regular non-leather alternative for a quality shoe. So I dropped them into James and got these Vibram soles put on. In a tasteful blue with cool detailing visible on the side, they look the part, they will wear much better than the previous rubber soles and they'll keep my feet dry too!

Shoe Repair and Key Cutting. Why do they go cohabit so well?!?…read more When did that very first cobbler think - "I need to diversify. Business is down. I need to offer something extra to my customers. Hmmmm. I am really good with leather, great with glue and nails. I KNOW!!!! With my skill set, I should cut keys!!!" Even more worrying was the original guy's competitor - "Oh no - old Jack up the road is offering Shoe Repair AND Key Cutting now!!! I'd better get in on that before it gets too big!!!" Any clues please let me know. So, on to Keyhoe's. They repair shoes. They cut keys. Shoe repairs are a reasonable price. Having keys cut is expensive (my set of four keys was nearly £30). At least it is all under one roof.
