“I called up Adam and his sales director Jeremy three weeks before coming over from Belgium for a London weekend with some ideas on what I would like for two suits, asking if they would make any adjustments in a short time. Protests in London meant I could only reach them for a first visit on the Sunday, but by Monday early afternoon, not only had they helped select the perfect two tailored suits I needed, they had also adjusted them, made to measure. The quality of the tailoring is superb as are the materials. The greatest mod clobber experience I have ever had. Thanks.”

“Such a professional and thorough service as ever from the specialists at the London Diagnostic Centre. I had a consultation with Dr Sonia Dudeja who specialises in menopause and perimenopause care. She helped explain and normalise my symptoms and she also addressed the topic in a really holistic way by talking about lifestyle, stress, time of life etc. She talked about other women’s experiences and the different ways women can choose to manage symptoms, which was incredibly informative and helped set me at ease. I would definitely recommend her service and feel a lot better informed and enabled as a result. Thank you Dr Sonia!”

We just stopped here for a quick coffee and it was so good, the espresso is really easy drinking and BIG, if you want a decent sized espresso this is the place to go!

I’d highly recommend The Humble Barber, they talk walk-ins too so if you’re passing…”

“My son began attending Butterflies in September 2021, and I can only share positive feedback about this nursery. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff deserve praise as they know how to connect with children and are highly creative. I appreciate that the children engage in different activities every day. As full-time parents, we value the communication and photos shared through the phone application, which allows us to track our son's progress and daily activities. Additionally, the nursery offers various ad-hoc booking sessions that make our lives easier. While these depend on availability, they are extremely beneficial, particularly the "early starter" option, which we frequently use. Lastly, the owner and manager, Danielle, is very helpful, approachable and finds time to speak to all parents. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to all parents—your kids will love it.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of F1 MOT Center. I have been using them for my yearly MOTs for years and have always received top-notch service. However, my most recent experience with them truly exemplified their exceptional customer service and expertise. After a unfortunate accident on an icy road left my Audi A4 in need of serious repairs, I called F1 MOT Center and they immediately booked me in for the next day. This quick response was essential as I rely on my car for daily commuting. Upon arriving at the garage, I was feeling extremely stressed and anxious about the extent of the damage. However, Zaf, one of the staff members, quickly put me at ease with his calm demeanor and reassuring words. After assessing the damage, Zaf promised to do his best to have the car fixed by the end of the day. True to his word, he and his team worked tirelessly to repair the damage and I was able to drive my car home that very evening. The quality of the work was impeccable and the price was fair. It's not easy to find a garage that you can trust completely, but F1 MOT Center has proven time and time again that they are reliable and skilled professionals. I can't recommend them enough for any car maintenance or repair needs. Thank you, F1 MOT Center, for your outstanding service!”
