Self expression through art in London

“My 9 years old daughter has had the best few years training with Katie Cox Dance Studio. She started with just ballet but her love of dance grew and now she does tap, lyrical, acro and jazz too! She has flourished in such a nurturing environment and made some amazing friends. She loves her teachers and is always so happy when we are on the way to lessons. The effort that goes into each child to bring the best out of them is amazing and all the students really cheer each other on and celebrate each other’s achievements. Both students, teachers and parents come together to put on amazing events and shows. I can’t wait to see what else Katie Cox Dance Studio can do over the next few years!”

“What CAN’T I say about Leilah? She is an incredible dancer, an incredible teacher, and an incredible person. All of her classes are filled with good energy and fun choreo, and they’ve been a staple of my time here in London. I recommend Leilah’s belly dance to everyone!”

“I started as a total beginner here , and I’ve been really loving it! Chinedu is such an amazing tutor—super patient, encouraging, and he makes the classes so much fun. The vibe is really welcoming, and I never feel awkward (as a girl) even when I mess up. If you’re thinking about trying forró, I’d definitely recommend it!”

“I got my first ever tattoo with Paweł and it was quite a large and original project with a lot of detail and composition requirements. He was very patient and listened to my suggestions while giving his own insight to make a tattoo I love. Can’t wait to go back next month to finish the project.”

“I had a great time at Ravenclaw Tattoo Studio. The artist was very experienced, showing extreme passion and being meticulous with his work. Overall a comforting and welcoming environment. I can't recommend this place enough!”

“A truly amazing tattoo! I am absolutely ecstatic about my cover up. Jack is a superb artist, great at making you feel comfortable and always professional and personable.”

“Dean was wonderful is taking some thought processes of mine & aiding in the creation of my own piece. He personalised something that meant a great deal making me feel completely comfortable & looked after whilst I was there. I love my piece!”

“Avi is an absolute master of her craft. Her artistic skills are truly impressive, and she has a keen eye for detail. I proudly wear quite a few tattoos by Avi and I can confirm, the experience I get at her studio is always excellent. Avi always takes time to understand my vision, offering expert advice and suggestions that makes the final design even better than I had imagined. During the tattooing process, Avi is always incredibly patient and meticulous. She takes great care to ensure I was comfortable at all times, checking in frequently and providing breaks whenever I needed. Solid Ink Tattoo Studio is fantastically designed and decorated to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. And of of course the hygiene standards are impeccable! If you're looking for a tattoo artist who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Solid Ink Tattoo Studio. I wholeheartedly recommend Avi, no matter if it's your first tattoo or one of many, you will not be disappointed.”

Nick is such a lovely guy, the design was just what we wanted, he made it such a good experience, you are a great artist Nick. Many people have commented on how beautiful our tattoos are. Nicky”

“In the middle of September, I came with my sister for walk-in piercings. We were very pleased with the professionalism. Our piercings (nipple and Rook) were done by Michael, we felt safe, he explained everything and everything was done clean. Piercings are healing great and we are very pleased with the work, would recommend!”

“Had a great couple of days at Black Tapestry Tattoo starting a left arm sleeve – all the line work has been completed and I can't wait to come back to do the background! Highly recommend Chris and his creative approach – he took my reference ideas, incorporated his style to create an awesome custom design and I'm thrilled with how it looks so far. Great studio with a relaxed feel, helped by not being on a high street and appreciated all the plants! The warming pad on the tattoo table was also a nice touch to help keep you comfortable.”

“Had a tattoo done today with Emz today and from start to finish it was excellent! From set up to the tattoo and to explaining the after care. Would highly recommend to go down and have a look and get a tattoo done!”

“I was tattooed by Chantay. She designed an oya/Ghana piece for me in honour of my heritage. The artists at the studio were kind, chill, and very accommodating. The studio was very tidy and clean. Chantay was very patient with me and listened to when i needed to chill and take a break. I will most definitely go back and get tattooed by her again. Thank you.”

“Fantastic experience. Such a lovely place to get a tattoo at. Hector that did my tattoo has done an amazing job, it is so beautiful. The tattooing process was so seamless! Loved it !”

“Had my first tattoo done by Sophie at Electric Snake. Came out exactly as I wanted and Sophie was excellent. Will definitely be coming back!”

“I had a beautiful experience here at the inkcubator, it’s a very warm and welcoming tattoo studio. All the staff are lovely and really do make sure you’re comfortable. I had a tattoo booking by Charlie and she done a brilliant job, I’m definitely impressed & happy with my tattoo. All the staff there will make sure you’re 100% comfortable before starting and they will explain everything to you as they go along, which really helped me with my anxiety. I would highly recommend anyone wanting a tattoo to go here, and have a brilliant experience while getting some brilliant artwork done. Thank you to the whole team for making me feel very comfortable & welcome. And a massive thank you to Charlie for my amazing artwork & really making it a beautiful experience for me. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Amazing service, design and tattoo. I couldn't be happier and would whole heartedly recommend to anybody. Will definitely be back x”

“A welcoming and fun dance school, we would heavily recommend them to anyone wishing to try it out as a hobby! We started about a year ago with no experience whatsoever, and under the careful tutoring of the flow dance team through the group classes we’ve already seen such improvement and had a lot of fun. A special shout out to Jan who has been absolutely excellent in our private classes, always happy to help and very knowledgable!”

“This is a wonderful local ballet school. My daughter has been attending classes here since she was 3 years old and is now 10. During that time, I have seen her progress so beautifully, developing confidence and physical control in her ballet technique. The teachers are all incredibly caring. They take safeguarding extremely seriously, and always have the children's welfare at the forefront of their minds. I have every confidence in their ability to look after my child, and it's obvious that they are adored by the kids. I would definitely recommend this school.”

“I just completed a fan veil course with Oloma, and it was marvellous. I learned a great deal and had fun at the same time. I hope Oloma will do a fan veil follow-on course at some point next year !”

“Michelle and her team are absolutely outstanding with how they develop the children. We found this studio last year and won’t look back. Amazing dancers have come out from their tuition and can see great dancers to follow. Our little one has had the opportunity to take part in the latest show which has enabled them to achieve and be inspired. Excellent work Michelle.”

“Having had experience with another nursery prior to moving to the area a year and a half ago, we can honestly say The Fountain is run with transparency, integrity, and our children's well being at heart of what they do. Staff are friendly, informative and honest. Our two boys joined at 1 and 3 years old and they have loved it, from the staff and friends they've made, to the array of daily activities, as well as events that parents/caretakers can join. They have both thrived in this environment and we would highly recommend.”

“I always come here for my tattoos, the staff are lovely, shoutout to Izabela and Paul. They always make me feel welcome and comfortable. Will always recommend to my friends and family.”

“My friend and I got pierced by Viktor today, and he made the overall experience amazing. The studio is clean and well maintained, and the pricing is fantastic for the quality of service you get. We had a good laugh and a chat, and my smiley was pretty much painless as I was so relaxed! Everything went really smoothly and we loved it. Will definitely be coming back for more piercings and tattoos :)”

“Got a nip piercing here; the team were all so respectful and professional, all whilst being incredibly friendly and helped ease me out of discomfort with a few quick laughs. The piercer was obviously really knowledgable and talked me and an apprentice through everything she was doing. Can’t wait to go back and get some more work done, firm 10/10!”

“The person who helped me was so kind and accommodating to my needs. They gave me some great advice for my swollen piercing (not done here) and changed it to a longer bar. I had a great experience :)”
