Artistic expression in London

“Got my forearm piece done by Sin and had an older tattoo fixed — couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Sin is an incredible artist and really hands-on throughout the whole process. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, gave solid advice, and delivered clean, detailed work. The vibe was chill, professional, and you can tell he genuinely cares about both the art and the client. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality work and someone who knows what they’re doing.”

“Felt nervous going as haven’t been in a tattoo shop for years , but I needn’t of worried such a chilled friendly laidback atmosphere. Blayn went through what I wanted in great detail and did many sizes to choose from when he created my designs . Such an amazing experience will definitely be back and recommending these guys !!”

“Took my daughter here today and I can’t thank them enough she had the best experience, the man and lady that did her ear piercing was so lovely and put my daughter at complete ease and her ear piercings are perfect Would highly recommended them to anyone My daughter and me couldn’t be happier”

“Had my first Tattoo. Rubee was so friendly love my tattoo of my Daughters name excellent service would highly recommend. Thank you.”

“Absolutely love Brendan and his work! Absolutely lovely guy and his artwork is brilliant couldn’t recommend enough!!”

“Kami is an absolutely amazing artist! I only had a little idea of ​​what I wanted and she came up with exactly what belongs to me. I like her work because every piece is original. It was my first tattoo with her and certainly not my last. I highly recommend it.”

“I've had 2 tattoos done by nick and a 3rd coming in may, both experiences have been amazing.”

“I have had Aimee-Lou tattoo me for hours! She is currently working on my sleeve & is one of my favourite tattooists around. She has beautifully designed every tattoo I have asked for to a higher standard & with more creative ideas then I could ever imagine. My favourite thing about Aimee Lou is... She designs everything for me & will never copy any other work. You can leave with the comfort of knowing that she will not give your designs to anyone else so you can stay unique! (This is from experience of someone requesting a tattoo of mine. She changed the design up & gave them something new & I get to keep my unique tattoo!) She is also a dream to be with & chat to whilst tattooing! She’s also got a very gentle touch & I don’t think I could have got through my elbow tattoo with anyone else! I have recommended her multiple times & will continue to see her for years to come! FULLY RECOMMEND VERY PROFESSIONAL CREATIVE TALENTED ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Go see Aimee Lou!”

“Peefect place if you want to get a tattoo done . Alex did my tattoo and I couldn’t be happier! Super professional, friendly, and talented—the design came out perfect with clean detail. The shop was clean and welcoming. Highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for quality work!”

“Cannot recommend this place enough, the lady who pierced my nose took her time to make sure the placement was perfect. She is lovely and really knows her stuff. Also, the guy on the front desk who was super helpful and it was lovely to speak to him. Will be back for more piercings. Thank you”

“I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Bex, it was such a good experience! I got 3 tattoos in one session, but I felt very relaxed the whole time. She was very professional in her work, and I love every piece, will definitely be getting more from her!”

“A great stage school with fantastic teachers who work very hard to get the best out of all of their students. Each year I'm so impressed with their shows which take place at The Towngate Theatre. They are delivered to an extremely high standard and you can tell that all the students love taking part. My daughter loves going to San-Marie!”

“Excellent work on my full sleeve, couldn't be happier with the result - so many people who "aren't fans of tattoos" have changed their mind when seeing Richard's work. Richard is a superb artist and having spent many, many hours in the studio, I can definitely say that they look after you superbly and everyone is great to talk to about anything!”

“This was an absolute treat to see different beautiful ballet styles danced by pupils of the Royal ballet school. They were very well rehearsed and were a joy to watch. The venue on a lovely summer night was perfect. Well done to everyone involved for a night to remember.”

“Small intimate theatre ideal for smaller shows.”

“I got these shoes exactly one year ago today and I can still honestly say that this is easily one of the best purchases I have ever made! Words cannot adequately express how sick these shoes are and they are still in great condition! They were really cooperative throughout the whole process. Talking through my reference pictures and sending me emails of updates so that they could really ensure that they were exceeding my expectations for these shoes. I also think that the price was very reasonable and just cannot rate them enough! I still recommend them to my friends and I hope to buy more custom made shoes from them very soon! (P.S. It's good to know that whoever designed my shoes, also has great taste in tv shows ;))”

“I have been a customer of Lidia for years before she opened Freya Hair Studio. She is the best hair stylist/ lash technician I have ever had and always manages to make miracles out of my challenging hair. I highly recommend her! I am now a customer of her salon where I also get my laser hair removal and my facial treatments. The staff are professional and friendly and the results speak for themselves.”

“Sarah did my starter locs and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She made me feel so reassured throughout the process and clearly has so much knowledge and experience. I’m so glad I found one stop dreadlock and can’t wait to continue my loc journey here!”

“Saw Inter Alia, which I cannot recommend more. Absolutely fantastic. The Theatre was well organised, and had a good drinks and snacks selection at the Bar.”

“My daughter did the summer holiday club to perform Moana in a week. Was the first time for her, she absolutely loved it! Teachers were really lovely, I was amazed what they achieved in a week.”

“Went to see Ten in the Bed today and was completely blown away. My 4 year old and not even 2 year old were captivated the whole way through. It was funny and poignant and the acting was brilliantly expressive and physical to help kids follow the dialogue. I want all my friends to take their kids to see it but it’s only on this week! The theatre staff themselves were very welcoming. We’ll be back!”

“I made a delivery there today and was a pleasure was greeted with a smile a great conversation and very much made to feel welcome also a short tour amazing art work they do a amazing job we’ll done guys”

“I’ve just started my second course with Hasina as this is exactly what I was looking for! Choreo oriented belly dancing lessons give you a great pace of learning and enjoyment. I love every second of it and highly recommend to anyone wanting to try some classes”

“My Daughter absolutely loves coming to Dawson’s! All of the teachers are so lovely, especially Miss Elin who is approachable & has genuine care & pride for her students. We are now part of the Baby Team & cannot wait to represent the school in competitions! Would highly recommend DSPA!”

“I have been attending bodens for about five years now and in those five years I have learnt so many new skills. I currently attend their Saturday morning combined musical theatre classes from 10am-1pm and their tap dance classes on Mondays from 5pm-5:45pm. I also take part in Trinity musical theatre exams which I am very lucky and grateful to do. Bodens has given me many opportunities and taught me many things that I will use in everyday life and in the future. Being a student at bodens has helped my confidence grow massively. They never fail to produce incredible shows where every student is involved and having fun. All members of staff are lovely and are always nice . They encourage us to take risks in theatre and help us understand what life is like in the theatre industry. Not only are the staff kind, but the students are too; they are all very welcoming to new people and are always open to making new friends. I have really enjoyed every moment during my time at bodens so far, and I think other young people should get to experience this too.”

“I joined the drawing course at Sunny Art Academy and couldn’t be happier with my experience! The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about art, guiding students through every step with clear explanations and practical demonstrations. The course builds a strong foundation in key skills like proportion, perspective, and shading, while also encouraging personal creativity. The studio itself is welcoming and inspiring, with a friendly atmosphere that makes learning enjoyable. I’ve noticed real improvement in my drawing ability in just a few weeks, and each lesson leaves me excited to keep practising. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend Sunny Art Academy – it’s one of the best art schools in London!”

“I have had a few piercings done here, the process is quick, efficient, and everything went smoothly. Staff there are informative, professional and provide a friendly service. Would deffo recommend!”

“Max has done 3 pieces of work on me and I can safely say he has some of the neatest lines in the industry, I’m really over the moon with his craftsmanship. All 3 pieces of work have a very sentimental meaning to me. Whilst he was working on my sons name, we got chatting and I found out this dude trains Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (so do I), so we had plenty of story’s tales and techniques to chat about. What a cool dude!!!”

“Had my 11 year old daughter’s ears pierced here and Holly was absolutely fantastic with her. Loved that she put her at ease with her kind and friendly manner and that she explained the whole process so nothing was at all scary. Took the time to check the ears were all lined up, and the actual piercing was done quickly and professionally, my daughter barely felt it. Great selection of earrings and we will be buying some more when we return in six weeks to get the ears checked. Thank you so much Holly for making this such a good experience!”
