Transformative art forms 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!”

“I am a 'mature' student who joined West London School of Guitar 3 years ago as a total beginner with a battered second hand electric guitar and no real idea of what I wanted to achieve. In that time, I've gone from learning simple chord progressions and melodies to playing classical pieces, learning a range of different and challenging techniques, sight reading and music theory and regular improvisation classes with other students (and acquiring a couple of new guitars en route!). We're also encouraged and given guidance to set ourselves goals on a regular basis and we work together to make these goals a reality. WLSoG wants all the students to be the best guitarists they can possibly be with an understanding of musical concepts as well as techniques. No stone is left un-turned on this route and students make great progress in a positive and friendly teaching environment. This is the best thing I've done in ages. I've grown in confidence as a guitar player and as a person - I can't recommend these classes highly enough.”

“Very good teacher very knowledgeable”

“Really good club to learn the art form of Capoeira in a safe controlled environment. Club members are friendly and eager to help out. Coming from a different capoeira school I felt quite at home. Equal attention is given to teaching the music and culture connected to Capoeira. There are outdoor training sessions during summer. Sereia is a really great coach/teacher with a high level of mental and physical energy which is very contagious. Her classes are very accommodating to beginners and are structured for all levels. Her training methods are very organised and you’ll find your fitness level improving and progression at your game very quickly. Classes on Mondays and Wednesdays are a cartwheel away from Royal Oak station with ample parking around it. Friday class is at a great location across from Paddington station, plenty of pubs and restaurants for Friday evenings after training drinks and meals. Would highly recommend joining and training on a regular basis or just stopping by for a trial class to see it for yourself.”

“Our daughter dances at Caterham Dance School with Clara and Damian and their reputation for excellence is very well-deserved. From trying out a cha cha in the children's beginner class, through to competing in juvenile ballroom and latin competitions, they have been really supportive at every step - tailoring teaching and advice on technique to her abilities as they develop, and continuing to inspire her love of dance!”

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”

“Met Gregg through an app and after getting tattooed from different places around the uk and other countries. Never felt more relaxed and enjoyed having my tattoo together. Highly recommended would suggest getting bigger pieces of art done as he enjoys his work way too much...can't wait till the next one.”

“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!”

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!”

“We went to see We're going on a bear hunt and my little one has a great time. The venue is easy to find, and each child is very well taken care of before the show starts to ensure they have the best view of the show. And there's all you need on site: loos, snacks, drinks and some souvenirs to buy. Highly recommend it for a family time with young children”

“Took my partner there for surprise tattoo, couldn't have been more accommodating ,friendly, relaxed but fun , Vic and Co made experience great! Brilliant work ,good pricing All round great and i would definitely recommend this place .”

“Just got a mid taper by Barber Rand — one of the cleanest cut I’ve ever had. Super sharp shape-up, insane attention to detail. If you go, ask for Rand — he’s the one who makes every trim look perfect.”

“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!!!”

“Long overdue 1st tattoo at 65 years old with my wife who also had her 1st!! All the staff were so welcoming and gave great advice.Peter the tattooist was lovely.patient and a perfectionist.”

“I've been training with Master Seyfi for 2 years, it's a great art and its given me the right tools to keep safe and knowledge to use it. The other students are great to be around an the atmosphere is great. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn Wing Chun.”

“Wonderful ballet school - classes for all ages including mine at Silver Swans. Jemima Rose is a brilliant teacher. The atmosphere is friendly and fun. Good for the body, mind, and soul.”

“The most wonderful joyful toddler class going! My daughter loves it, it’s a fantastic communal experience with a beautiful feel and unique spirit. A highlight of the week for us no question!”

“A beautiful store for lovers of Swedish furniture design. The building it is located in is spectacular, a hidden gem if you will.”

“The pole studio balham is currently one of my favourite places to be! Classes are pretty cheap and the instructors are lovely and encouraging, especially Sandra whose classes I’m mainly in and Laurinda who I’ve had a couple classes with.”
