“We have used Creed Miles several times now at our Surrey based office to include carpeting, new chairs, decorating and fire wall partitioning. On each occasion the Sales & project Manager, Nick Hunter and all of the Creed Miles Team have been helpful, supportive and quick to respond. Always good with alternative suggestions or ideas to counteract a challenge. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Nick or anyone from the Team. Great service all round.”

“I recently finished booking an Africa experience with Yellow Zebra for early 2027. Sebastian, our Yellow Zebra Safari Specialist, put together a variety of options for review after listening to our wants and needs. Based on his first hand knowledge and experience, he guided us through developing and finalizing a once in a lifetime private tour for our group of 8. The tour includes time in Cape Town, Victoria Falls and 3 different safaris. During the non-pressured planning process, Sebasian was in constant communication with us and very responsive to any inquiries. Once booked, we were seamlessly introduced to Kristen from the Yellow Zebra’s Operation Team. Kristen was very helpful in finalizing the details of our trip and will support us during the trip. Sebastian still remained our main contact for any further pre-trip planning. The great service Yellow Zebra has provided, makes me very confident that we are going to have an awesome trip.”

Once again, thank you very much. I wish the company continued growth and success in its mission to support those seeking to immigrate and build a life in the UK.”

“One of the best boutique cafe in Hampton Wick (South West London). The Barista is very attentive to detail.Superb desserts, delicious homemade savory food, sandwiches, including vegan options. The homemade soups are great especially in cold days and is a great alternative. Stylish interior. Nice staff. The lady "Simona" is very friendly and she makes everyone feel welcome. When shopping in nearby Kingston Upon Thames, we always go to this cafe.If you are tired of the big branded coffee shops and you want to have a really good coffee, this is the place for you!”

“The taste of the middle east right in the centre of Kingston. Food here taste heavenly”

“Had a great experience at Hobbs Kingston. Camille, the manager, was so helpful. She got a range of sizes out for us and did not mind as asking for more dresses to try on. Great service...I would highly recommend.”

“We went there to see "as December falls". I will be honest, I'm in my late 40's and went mainly to support my youngest (20). I can honestly say I really enjoyed myself, it had the vibe of a rock/metal gig venue from 25-30 years ago, everyone looking out for each other, but with a modern twist, a new generation following the old school values of doing their best to just love the music and doing all the can to help others enjoy it too. The other thing that struck me is the price of drinks, here in Surrey we are sadly used to being hammered by drink prices, and I fully expected the drinks to be on the he pricey side, especially as we were a captive audience, that had choice but pay the prices they charged. The date was the 15/08/2025 and 2 single vodkas with cranberry came to £11 (something). I have paid a lot more in places I have enjoy far less in the area. Finally, without going into detail, we had some additional needs, we needed a chair for the gig part, and honestly it was no trouble, we told one person at the bar, I didn't catch his name, but but the time we got into the gig part, all the staff knew, and were descreetly on hand if needed Thanks to all the staff at the fighting cocks, those at banquet records who ran the music part, and to As December Falls for a brilliant albeit hot and sticky night”

“Cannot recommend enough. Ivor provided excellent help and advice. He has a superb knowledge and is able to communicate what we needed to know clearly. We had conversations on zoom which worked for us. He addresses all of the issues we sought advice on and also suggested some other things we hadn't even thought about. He seemed very reasonably priced for the service provided. Will be using again. Recommended to other family members and they have been really pleased too.”

“Myself and my husband booked with Lucy over 2 years ago. We booked the 21 day Falkland, South Georgia & Antarctica trip. It was just absolutely unbelieve. It was everything we could of imaged and so much more! It really has impacted us massively. Booking through Polar Routes was the best choice we made in booking this trip, because of all the logistics. Everything from start to finish ran smoothly and i can't fault them at all. They have played a massive part in making my 30th birthday trip the most special experience I could have hoped for. Thank you so much Lucy.”
