5 Best Tailors in London (2026)

Francesco Tailor is a Soho alterations shop on Berwick Street specialising in suit adjustments, trouser finishing and quick repairs, run without a public website but with one of the highest review counts of any tailor in this comparison. Reviewers describe walking in with a torn zip or an ill-fitting suit and walking out within minutes for free or low-cost fixes, alongside larger jobs like completely readjusting three suits' waist, seat, length and chest. The shop has built its reputation on speed and generosity with small repairs as much as on the bigger tailoring jobs.

Golden Tailoring & Alterations is a Piccadilly Circus tailoring studio run by Joseph, offering men's and women's alterations, bridal dress fitting and custom tailoring, with same-day service advertised as a core part of the business. Reviewers repeatedly credit Joseph by name for transforming off-the-peg jackets and trousers into what feels like a made-to-measure fit, and the business owner replies personally to nearly every review. The team describes itself as coming from families with a custom tailoring tradition, with fifteen years in the trade.

LQ Tailoring in Soho combines alterations, custom tailoring and dry cleaning under one roof on Glasshouse Street, and it has the largest review base of any tailor in this comparison by a wide margin. Reviewers describe suits turned around in under an hour and custom-made trousers alongside standard hemming and repair work, with multiple staff named directly, including Samir and Ashraf. The scale of the review count, well over 600, suggests a business handling a high volume of customers without the quality slipping in most reviews.

Huntsman & Sons is a Savile Row tailoring house established in 1849, famous enough to have inspired the Kingsman films and to have used its own fitting room as a film set. It builds suits, coats and jackets entirely to individual measurements rather than altering ready-made clothing, with commissions, trunk shows and a made-to-measure line alongside fully custom work. This is a different category of tailor from the alteration shops above: a heritage house for a from-scratch suit, not a quick fix.

R.A Tailoring, run by Reza Amiri on Shelton Street, offers alterations, custom tailoring and repairs for both men's and women's clothing, including wedding outfits. Reviewers consistently single out fast turnaround, precise fit and prices they describe as noticeably lower than comparable Central London tailors, with several saying they wouldn't go anywhere else in the city. Reza is named directly and personally in nearly every review reply.
