At £9, which I believe to be the going rate, I was impressed with the work - considering these were pretty destroyed, they appear to have made them look almost like new. I think they did a pretty good job, and these were ready within a few hours. They also have a selection of inner soles if you need them, I picked some up for another pair.

Anderson & Sheppard apparently is the biggest tailoring house on Savile Row with allegedly around…read more1500 suits manufactured each year. They have been around for about 100 years and have catered to some of the most famous Savile Row clients. Their house style is different to most other Savile Row houses (except for the A & S pupils that opened their own businesses, like Thomas Mahon or Steven Hitchcock). There isn't anything stiff or military in their suits, and in this respect, they produce a completely different type of garment as compared to the likes of Huntsman. They use a "soft tailoring" approach with very little padding, and their suits have natural shoulders and fairly bulky sleeves. The chests and backs of their garments are also quite drapy, allowing for better movement of your arms and shoulders. Unfortunately, that takes away from the clean, slick look that many clients are looking for in a well-tailored suit. However, if you have broader shoulders, this may be the way to go. Unlike many other Savile Row tailoring houses, your initial A & S suit usually only requires two fittings and following orders often also go straight to the forward fitting and require one single fitting session. Their head cutter, John Hitchock has a reputation for being a little stiff and not taking to much input from his clients, and therefore, as a customer (especially a new one), you should be very forward about what you want and what you do not want. Otherwise, he will do everything his own way, and you are stuck with what he thinks is best (which is sometimes the best indeed, but sometimes not at all what you were hoping for). Apparently, in the past, the A & S pattern matching for pockets or sleeves was less than perfect, but it has significantly improved in the last time. I personally would not want my business suits to be made in the soft and drapy A & S style, but for tweed coats or more casual jackets or overcoats, I quite like their house style . If you want to have a closer look at the A & S style, you can take the Prince of Wales as a good example. In my opinion, with his sloping shoulders and his fairly broad hips, he would be better off with a more structured type of suit, but he still regularly makes it into the "best dressed" lists. Well done, Anderson & Sheppard !

I always think best to call first and enquire about prices. To my pleasant surprise, the gentleman on the other end of the phone was most helpful and the prices they were going to charge me for replacing two stiletto heels and the heels of a pair of boots were much less expensive that I thought! Just as good was the 'while you wait' service. After a minor mission finding them (they are located inside Tooting market, but once in the market, there are plenty of signs directing you to the very back), my three pairs of shoes took just 30 minutes to fix. Enough time to do some fruit and vegetable shopping! The friendly and helpful service is enough for me to go to these guys every time. If you live in the area, don't go anywhere else - support local businesses!

I can't recommend this place highly enough and will tell everyone I know to go there. It's easy enough to find - just go down the side of Primark and you'll find there's a side entrance into Broadway Market tucked away. Leather and Lace is one of the first units as you enter the market if you go in that way.

I'm giving them top marks since I dropped off a pair of shoes in need of new soles and they were ready to be collected by the end of the day. I couldn't be happier with the end result, the shoes look brand new and are more comfortable since I'm not wearing down the sole even more as I walk. Price for full rubber sole and heal was £30, keep that in mind when you bring shoes here. Probably only worth using this place for expensive shoes that you really want to keep for a long time. They also do key cutting so this is a one stop shop for shoe and key needs.
