Creative collaboration in London

“Great Tattoo experience from first contact to leaving with your fresh ink Elbert and Archie know how to deal with their clients and make them happy. Skin care smells great, think it was lemon sherbet and the antibacterial was bubblegum. Also great tunes playing throughout.”

“I've had a back tattoo done recently. But it was done by a great man named Jim. The art work he does is incredible. I couldn't thank him enough for what he did for me. This place is highly recommended. I trust this man with everything. He's a good man. Keep up the good work Jim.”

“Was pierced by Paige today who was really friendly and did a great job. Cleanest environment would definitely recommend a visit. I have also been tattooed by Aggy who is super talented and did a very special tribute of my dad in a half sleeve… I will definitely coming back for more!”

“I recently had a tattoo done by Kat and couldn't be happier, she was lovely and so kind from start to finish. I was really happy with the design she made for me, and the tattooing process was smooth and efficient, helped along by some good conversation!. I've been here several times for different artists and always have a great experience, all of the people working here are so friendly and the atmosphere is great! I can easily recommend visiting here!”

“Visited Neel’s whilst working away from home and left very impressed and even returned the next day. Yuliya is a really talented tattooist. Kind and honest service and very reasonable pricing!”

“Jason is such a knowledgeable and professional artist, this was my second visit to him and my first at his new location. The experience from booking, design, right through to aftercare is first class and leaves you with complete confidence that you are in the right hands. The vibes were so relaxing and welcoming. I could have happily sat for twice the amount of time that I did. I can't recommend Jason highly enough, a truly gifted artist leaving such a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to spend time with him. Thank you, I'll be back.”

“Not sure I can do this review the justice it deserves. I’m 50 years old, and just had my first tattoo. Not a massive inking, but very personal to me. Geoff is phenomenal . Professional, courteous, artistically innovative and an all-round top drawer bloke. The team are friendly, funny, welcoming and if you are good at crosswords, you’ll be tapped up. The quality of work is exceptional. Having a beer with the team afterwards was a joy. If you want an experience, this is the ONLY place to go.”

“Leoni Hughes is the most intricate and precise tattooist I’ve ever experienced. Her calm, holistic approach makes you feel seen, grounded, and reassured throughout the process. She’s a witch with ink — a true master of her craft, and a joy to be around.”

“Had a fantastic experience today at K-Ink. Was a very warm and personable experience. My tattoo artist José (kidkaeno) did a beautiful tattoo, was really quick and created exactly what I wanted. Owner of the studio was also very friendly and I really appreciated that they both took the time to get to know me. Will definitely be visiting again :)”

“Would give more than five stars if I could! My friend and I walked in today with vague ideas about matching tattoos and left with two beautiful and unique pieces of art. Manu was patient, professional, and welcoming, as were all of the staff we encountered. The pricing was more than fair and the overall vibes were immaculate. Thank you so much Manu for listening to our ideas and creating gorgeous and memorable pieces for us!”

“came by on monday to see the gorgeous aura and i honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience! she was so lovely and did such fantastic work — also big shoutout to jezz who was also super sweet ”

“I had a Japanese-style tattoo made by Terry. He’s very knowledgable and skilled; a true artist. Highly recommend.”

“Went for my first ever tattoo yesterday and all I can say is that after feeling quite nervous maryam did not hesitate to make me feel as comfortable as possible, a really nice and funky place inside aswell which is amazing and the tattoo couldn’t have been done any better, I genuinely could not have asked for more. I will be using this place from now on and will recommend to others”

“Had my nipples pierced last week with Galina! Brilliant job, I’m very happy with it. Galina was experienced and she made me feel at ease! Very laid back and funny, if I will be doing any piercing again I will be back! Thank you so much”

“Went to Inkfish for my first tattoo Was welcomed by Abi What can I say other than Wow!!!! She is AMAZING ... her line work and attention to detail is fantastic. She is creative, kind and so friendly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for ink.”

“The girls that work here create such a warm welcoming environment and just a safe space. The tattoo artists are all amazingly talented and my tattoo with becy exceeded any expectations I had!! Shout-out to poppy as well- silly sausage piercings who is a different level of creative and attentive when it comes to piercings. I would recommend the loft to anyone!”

“Ive had 5 piercings here and all done lovely! Really kind as I am under 18 but was still treated with respect/ not undermined. Helped me change a really bad jewellery in my daith and had a nice interaction with the lady who does the lasering. Will always come back.”

“As a young person I was absolutely terrified of getting my helix done as all three lobes were guns but Chris was amazing and made me feel so secure and comfortable. So clean and such a funky little place (in a good way) I couldn’t recommend them enough!! Thank you so much!”

“I want to say a huge thank you to Lee at Sacred Empire Tattoo Parlour in Tunbridge Wells for the amazing work he’s done on the tattoos on my hand. I'm absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. Lee made the whole experience comfortable and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work in a relaxed and friendly environment. I'll be back to have the other finger done when the cut on it heals. Thanks again, Lee”

“This pizza and pasta place is brilliant. It only just opened in August 2025 so ignore any reviews from the cafe before then. Delicious food and lovely staff.”

“Absolutely amazing! I got my hair cut here a couple days ago by Rosalyn, and it was honestly the best experience I've had at a salon. Welcoming, friendly, and above all a GREAT HAIRCUT! From the moment I arrived Rosalyn was going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. My hair looks exactly like the reference photo I gave and I am completely in love with my hair again! Will definitely be getting my hair cut with her again!!”

“We splashed out and booked the full size photo booth and the magic mirror as we couldn’t decide on which one would be more fun for our guests - and it was the best money we spent!!”

“Great place to bring your little ones for activities and health clinics. Friendly staff, varied schedule.”

“Some of my colleagues and I have been using Space4 for the last month or so, and it's been great - Polly and the other residents have all been really welcoming and all work for really great causes, which has created a lovely community feel. The space itself is bright and spacious. Would definitely recommend it as a co-working space - has way more character than your usual place!”

“This nursery is exceptional—highly professional with a team of dedicated and caring staff. My daughter attends here and absolutely loves Sahan! The staff are always approachable, friendly, and supportive. It comes highly recommended by both friends and family.”

“We came across chickywicks by pure chance but immediately fell in love with its homley,loving, caring environment and staff. After our daughter not settling at her previous nursery it was a huge nerve racking step to try again with chickywicks. Our daughter settled immediately we could not believe how happy she went in after how stressful things had been previously. Not only did the chickywicks team make Ada feel completely secure and happy but they also made a very anxious mum feel exactly the same. Every member of staff go above and beyond to make sure any concern or worry was just immediately forgotten. I truly believe that every single one of the team feel passionately about meeting every child's individual needs. Every member of the team are always so friendly and welcoming they not only cared for Ada but they all knew her personality inside out, they always knew at drop off if Ada was having a wobble and made sure they were extra supportive which is exactly what Ada needed. Chickywicks really are just like one big family and although they gave Ada everything she needs to move on, as her parents we would have kept Ada at chickywicks forever! We were not ready for Adas chickywicks journey to end. So from the very bottom of our hearts thank you to all the team at Chickywicks. We will NEVER forget all you have done for Ada and you will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We cant actually put into words how much we would recommend this nursery.”

“This has been a brilliant nursery setting for our daughter who has attended since September. She has developed in so many ways since moving here. They do a great variety of activities with the children every day and personal development and challenges which she loves to help develop skills and confidence. I feel confident that on leaving here Emily will be perfectly ready for school with very fond memories of her time here and her teachers.”

“Great nursery. Facilitates are great, especially the big garden which has a climbing frame, fish pond, sandpit, guinea pigs. They even had incubated chicks earlier in the year. The staff are great and have been working there for years which is always a good sign. My daughter loves it.”

“I attended the beginners painting course and had a wonderful time. The course tutors were brilliant, it was really fun and I’m excited to book another course soon. Highly recommend :)”

“Fabulous shop, amazing jewellery, and such friendly service! They were putting up Christmas decorations when I went in but the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. We have ordered online from this shop in the past but will try to pop in when I am in London.”
