Shopping

To call this shop a shop is an understatement. This shop is a lifesaver and a local institution, a West End legend who can fix anything you put in front of him. Particularly good with dancing shoes! Nearly always ready in minutes. Great dry cleaning and repairs and things are always done when they say they will be done.
