The 30 Best Eclectic in London

“I've been craving a new suit from Adam of London since my last visit several years ago. Made it into the shop on a Friday afternoon to be greeted by the man himself. I explained what I was looking for, he found my size, helped me try it on and pinned it for alterations by my local tailor as his tailor was on vacation. Even after I was set on a particular suit, he had me try on another couple of jackets to make sure we had selected the proper cut. This to me is a mark of impeccable professionalism. He could have simply let me pick it out, pay and walk out the door. But he chose to go a step above, and it says everything about the man. He's a very interesting fellow, with some great stories to tell and a great sense of humor. I really didn't "need" another suit, but I have no regrets about selecting from Adam.”

“The sweetest designs for kids but more importantly the most lovely store owner. Prices are incredibly reasonable. I spotted it while walking down the street and was brought in thinking it was going to be incredibly expensive because of the wait and thought everything was so well priced. The owner and maker Toene makes me want to move to London. I hope she is so proud of what she has made!”

“I had a tribal style tattoo with my daughter’s names hidden in the design done yesterday with Giovanna, and I couldn’t be happier!! Every aspect of my experience with No Regrets tattoo has been excellent. They ensured that they understood my design requirements, and were very interested in my reason for the tattoo. Giovanna was brilliant, she took my initial thoughts, added her own flair (as I’d asked her to do) and the result was better than I could have hoped for. Cannot recommend No Regrets highly enough and Personally want to say thank you Gio for my amazing ink!!”

“Wonderful experience! It was the first time getting tattoo. I was excited but also little scared as well. Now I would say I didn’t have to be afraid because staffs were really helpful, kind, and professional. I showed him a picture and he made a final design reflecting as exactly as I wanted. Tattooing process has done quickly without losing the quality. They gave me thorough instructions about the after care and what’s gonna happen in a week. This tattoo means a lot to me and tattooing experience in this place was just amazing!! I would definitely choose this place again”

“Dita sorted out my nose piercing which had been done incorrectly and never healed properly. She was warm, wonderful and I was so happy to have seen her. My nose piercing looks and feels so much better now and I have some lovely new studs for it too. Thank you so much, Dita!”

“Went there for my wife's birthday dinner and we were so happy with tasty food and excellent service. Drinks from the bar took a while to prepare so eventually we ordered different drinks but other than that everything went well. Happy wife and kids.”

“Visited Lakeside with the hope of finding an outfit for my sons wedding. First shop I went into and what a delightful experience it was. From the moment I walked in Jayne was so helpful and I came away completely fitted out and extremely happy. They even packed it up and sent it to my daughter as we were on the way home to Spain and didn't have room in our luggage. Couldn't recommend them enough.”

“Absolutely love this salon. I haven’t been to the hairdressers in a few years, always struggled with feeling comfortable and being able to explain what I really want from the cut but all the staff at Fruittii are so welcoming and really helped me figure it all out. Mia is my hairstylist and she is amazing! I feel so confident after my cuts and always love having a chin wag with her. I can’t wait to get my hair dyed and go bold with her help! Big thanks to Mia and all the team x”

“Visited the store to buy a gift for my friend. Kim was very nice and knowledgeable. Thank you Kim for amazing service!”

“My first tattoo experience was amazing — Jenny made everything smooth and welcoming, and Floy was so kind and talented. They both made me feel completely at ease, and I love the result!”

“I had an amazing tattoo with Camille. She was patient kind and attentive throughout the piece. Kept checking i was ok. The work is amazing and im over joyed with the result. Deffo be booking with her again. Easy to find shop - walkable from angel or 2 stops on the bus. The shop is clean and not intimdating at all !”

“I tried dozens of Perfecto style leather jackets in London and this one was the best fit irregardless the price. Highly recommend this store!”

“Nice friendly owner, Clean and can see food being cooked. Brilliant value for money and the food is great quality. I will definitely be going back soon.”

“Where should I start the staff were very friendly the food is delicious the service was perfect this is the right place if you wanna try Algerian food”

“I have fallen in love with this place! The indoor backyard is really eclectic and stunning. The service is attentive and the brunch menu is delish. I have been a few times and the very last one I was really pleased to see a whole new menu with creative dishes and names of the dishes (I ordered "The gentle lift of an eyebrow whilst devilishly looking down on ones observation"....LOVED IT!). My partner for the Exploding Yorkshire, also really good. Coffee too is one of the best in the area. Highly recommended and on some weekends evening they also organise wine bar events but please ask before and always book! ;)”

“A beautiful restaurant which is a hidden gem. The moment you walk in you are welcomed and the service continues lead by Francis the GM. The food was absolutely delicious. Chef Shoeb delights us with his cooking taking us on a journey of pure pleasure. The biryani is a must especially as it is made in a bamboo and served at the table. This is a place we will be returning and I can’t wait to try some of the other dishes on the menu. All the food is Halal and mocktails are available”

“Delicious meals, great service, local atmosphere! I enjoyed breakfast so much! I definitely come back here✌️”

“Excellent! Has vegan options! The food is so good. My wife had the traditional egg breakfast and loved it!”

“We've only been here for breakfast two days and for coffee. The stuff is very nice and sweet. Food and drinks come fast and taste delicious. We can only recomand eating here!”

“Second time staying here. Hands down, best location in London from a connections standpoint. Fifteen minute walk from Liverpool station to connect you to Heathrow and several other tube stations close by. Easy walking through Shoreditch packed with great restaurants and great nightlife and pubs. One of the nicest hotels in London unless you want to spend £500 per night. Modern, beautifully decorated, generous size rooms for London standards, squeaky clean, an adequate gym with modern equipment, and a great lounge and bar. Will definitely be back and have had many colleagues stay here, all which were very impressed.”

“Great little spot for a few drinks and a tasty burger, love the spin the wheel. Anya your the best!”

“"Street Delight offers an authentic and flavorful journey through Indian cuisine, with every dish bursting with traditional spices and fresh ingredients."”

“This is my favourite local pub in Finchley Central. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. I tried the lamb roast recently and it was good. My only suggestion is to bring the steak pie and mash back to the menu.. that was such a pub classic! I think they have the pie of the day on Tuesdays but not always. Keep up the nice work guys!”

“Real pub, great landlord, lovely staff, great prices!”

“Sugoi is one of my go-to places to deliver food from whenever I have a sushi craving. The concept of a sushi taco is something I’ve never come across before but it works so well. It can be a bit messy to eat but that comes with the territory. The food is always so delicious and the flavours are spot on. I would 100% recommend Sugoi JPN to anyone who loves sushi and wants to try something new.”

“I had a great stay at the hotel. Breakfast was very good with a solid selection and high quality throughout. The service was excellent special thanks to Beilul, who was very professional, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience. Hilton always delivers.”

“A warm welcoming Greek atmosphere from the authentic Greek owners to the home cooked dishes, Greek music, breads and typical Greek sweet pastries. Occasionally I found items over priced. Overall the food is well cooked and flavoured to authentic Greek taste. The Feta and Spinach pies are a tasty midday lunch escape from the norm.”

“Really very happy with my manicure & pedicure. The nail technician, I think her name was Iwona (apologies if I’ve got that wrong) gave me an exceptional service. I’m very impressed with the nail art, it’s exactly as I wanted it (cute & subtle) and I think l she did a fantastic job. It’s not easy to be so precise but she nailed it (forgive the pun!) Aside from the expert skill, she was very sweet, polite & friendly - it was an absolute pleasure to get my nails done by her at London Grace and I left feeling really pampered :) This place is more expensive that what I’m used to paying for but it’s definitely worth it - I will come back as treat whenever I can :) Thank you!”

“Great assortment of products and the lady at the counter is so kind!”

“Truly one of the nicest shops you can go to get the clothes you love! Definitely won’t be disappointed with the quality being offered along with the hospitality you receive from the lovely owners!”
