“Best tux shop in London! Oya is a gift from God for service to anyone who needs to look your finest for a formal event. She dialed me up for a presentation awards tux same day and I looked smashing, thanks to TuxLux.”

“I had a haircut with a Jolie today! I didn’t make it easy for her, showed hundreds of pics and couldn’t decide what I wanted. At the end, I let her do what she thought would look best on me and the result, I loved so much! It’s modern and unique, suits my hair, gives just the volume my fine hair needed! Plus extra tips to get it done at home. Thanks Jolie”

“My daughter has been attending Pop Gems since the age of 3 years and it has been a great confidence builder for her, she has made great friends and had amazing opportunities to perform in a theatre. They are a great team of teachers who encourage the best out of all the children. They have been amazing with the communication throughout Covid-19, keeping parents and students up to date with changes and recommendations for all to return safely. I have been confident in the return to studios knowing they are going above and beyond to keep everyone safe and up to date with the every changing regulations and guidelines. The Popgems family is warm, accomodating and understanding. A perfect first time social extracurricular that im grateful my daughter is part of.”

“Adore Dance is a wonderful studio. I joined the Adult Jazz class over a year ago after a long break from dance. Whether you’ve danced before or not, Connor is excellent at teaching the relevant techniques whilst also keeping it light and fun, with some routines in there too. It’s a welcoming place, regardless of skill level so don’t hesitate!”

“I can't give a high enough review for Maree Jewellery! I am lucky enough to own a few pieces of her jewellery and they are beautiful. Her customer service is second to none. She went above and beyond recently to help me with a present that I'd been bought but it wasn't quite what I wanted so It was changed with no problem and communication was great throughout the whole process.”

“Was in the UK for a quick visit and was so intrigued by this lovely store front window. Jo, one of the owners was so accommodating with my last minute request. She is an amazing artist and so pleasant to work with.”

“Awesome experience! I was tattooed by Victoria who was great! She was professional, passionate and attentive to getting the tattoo I wanted down to the smallest detail. The studio is perfect, clean and welcoming! Highly recommend!”

“From start to finish I got all the help and reassurance I needed! The staff are lighthearted and fun to be around! I really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend anyone to get a tattoo from eco tattoo whether it be your first or your thirty first!”

“My first tattoo at One Day was a great experience! First of all, Matt, the receptionist, was very welcoming and super friendly! My tattoo was done by Jenn, and it was a pleasure! Jenn listens and is very diligent in what she does. She is an artist and I am very grateful to have one of her tattoos. I highly recommend!!”

“I had such an amazing experience getting my first tattoo with Joe at origin tattoo yesterday. Everything about this place is so welcoming and professional. Joe took so much time with me working together on the design for an idea I'd had, was so patient and understanding when it took me a while to make decisions, and created a beautiful tattoo that I love. Could not recommend this place highly enough.”

“After deciding to get a half sleeve as my first tattoo I found it hard to decide on the right studio. That is until I came across Noire Ink and their team of highly professional artists. I instantly fell in love with their art styles and knew from the second I saw some of their artists work that I made the right choice. Thank you to Jastein, one of their resident artists for this beautiful piece of art. Its been a long 10+ years of trying to decide on a design and he's done a fantastic job. I couldn't be any happier with the results. I highly recommend checking them out if you're ever in the market for a new tattoo. You won't be disappointed!”

“I have recently had my 2nd Tattoo from Sona and I cannot say how amazing of an artist she is. Her attention to detail is unparalleled and her work is even better. I would thoroughly recommend Sona and her team to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo. All the staff are very welcoming and you are made to feel relaxed from the moment you walk through the door.”

“By far the most amazing tattoo experience. Angel is just such a gentle and amazing artist. I had a mandala, jewelry lotus flower piece on my forearm. The studio: Easy to locate and very clean and open. There is a sense of tranquility from the moment you step in. Business communication: Everything was communicated clearly and promptly so there were never any doubts about anything. The Experience: I pre-booked and received my design in advance and it came out even better than imagined. Went to the studio for the session and was welcomed in with open arms and a nice cup of herbal tea. Angel was very knowledgeable and professional, nothing was rushed. She is a very gentle tattooer and I managed to get through the whole session with no breaks or pain. There was room for casual conversation and more importantly there was room just to be and get immersed in the experience. I would highly recommend Angel for a tattoo and hopefully, someday, I will get another piece done.”

“Best barbers in the area. Would recommend to anyone. Friendly atmosphere, first time coming and they are very welcoming with me.”

“I was a complete beginner and tried a number of other classes before deciding on Salsa Tropical. My experience with others varied from good to absolutely off putting and discouraging. I eventually came across Maria's classes through Londonsalsa. Maria and her team are really great teachers. They are always attentive and observant, picking up on small details when you make mistakes to help improve your overall styling. There are several classes to ensure you are with others of the same level. Each class always has a male and female lead, who participate in all the exercises so they dance with you during the lessons. Great way to identify any mistakes. There is always a lot of emphasis on timing, technique, and styling, but above all, the environment is friendly, fun and supportive. Definitely recommend Salsa Tropical if you are looking to start or improve Salsa!”

“I booked in for an industrial piercing which was done by Toni. Toni was lovely, made me feel at ease and provided lots of after-care information. The piercing looks great and is healing nicely. The staff at reception were also very welcoming. I would definitely come back for another piercing.”

“Brian did a beautiful butterfly in memory of my mum”

“Great communication from start to even after it had been finished, great aftercare and overall a brilliant experience. Martin is an incredibly talented artist and a really nice bloke to boot. Meticulous about detail and really cares about his job. This was my first ‘proper’ tattoo and I’d definitely go back here again if I wanted another.”

“Have had two tattoos done here so far by Keely Glitters and they are outstanding. I will definitely be getting more. I have severe anxiety but found the studio to be a lovely, relaxing environment with cool music and I felt comfortable and chilled, she is a brilliant artist and a lovely person. The linework is flawless and I have never seen so many colours in tattoos before, I highly recommend. Everyone in the studio is friendly and all their art is fantastic. You can't go wrong by coming here- it is definitely worth travelling the distance if you live far away, even if you plan on coming from overseas.”

“This place was amazing. The staff was friendly and courteous. First went in here for my friend who's dermal fell off while we were sightseeing. Then decided a few days later to go back and get my nose pierced. The first night we were there, talked to the owner, who was very kind and took care of my friend with speed! When we went back for me, we got suggested to a pizza place that was by far the best pizza either one of us has ever had! Great place and learn new things every day! HIGHLY recommend this place”

“I would like to thank Niki very much for getting my tattoo done. I am very pleased with the work done in a nice atmosphere. I am glad that it was Niki who made this tattoo, I believe that she is a talented artist. I recommend her to everyone Tomasz”

“Honestly best tattoo experience I ever had. I felt comfortable straight away. Really talented artists in the shop. I was very happy with the tattoo Steve gave me couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend”

“Would definitely recommend 100% Professional & friendly Can't thank Jamie enough for my beautiful tattoo. I had an idea of what I wanted, Jamie took this and made it personal to me because of its meaning. He knew I was a bit nervous and chatted to me throughout distracting me. I am so happy with it, Thank you so much.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND. After attending the piercing course with Sunny, i am highly confident that this is the industry for me. The amount of information you manage to pick up is incredible. the things you learn are very important and the way they’re taught are very helpful. as someone who struggles to concentrate for long periods of time, i was always engaged and it increased my drive to pursue this career. When moving onto piercing physically piercing it may be nerve racking but all staff i interacted with was so friendly and made me feel very calm and relaxed. if you want to enter the industry this is the way to go!”

“The best place for elegant dresses and accessories I found so many gorgeous dresses. Amazing place definitely recommended”

“I'm Zora and I'm 8. Tony is a extremely kind person and I love going to her store because she makes cute and amazing clothes that make lodes of children happy on a rainy day. Her clothes are well designed and are beautiful . Love to stop by and say hello. She is a magnificent person with a magnificent shop that I love and you should too.”

“Consistently great cuts and a signature sharp fade from the Style Surgeon. The appointment booking on a Tuesday is a plus. No waiting around for hours like other Afro barbers I’ve been to.”

“My partner has bought rings, necklaces and bracelets for me as gifts over the years from Maya Magal. I adore their unique pieces and always experience the best customer service from the friendly team. When he eventually bought my engagement ring, it made sense that it was MM. True to form, they resized quickly and with great communication throughout the process. We’ll be back for our wedding rings!”

“I reside in the USA and was visiting London and wanted a tattoo as a souvenir. I called/emailed so many shops and got no replies and was losing hope but Hammersmith Tattoo replied back to me quickly and I made deposit (which was easy to do) and confirmed my appointment. I walked into the shop and noted it was clean and I was greeted by a friendly person at the desk which instantly made me less anxious. I was then greeted by my Artist Tom who was friendly, attentive to my ideas, gave some great advice and drew up the tattoo I was imagining perfectly. Once in his room, it was clean and all standard sanitary procedures were followed that I could see. He was polite, courteous and as a women alone in a room with a man, felt at complete ease. The whole experience was pleasant and positive. I left with a beautiful tattoo in his style that I love and will always remember my experience in London for it. Thank you Hammersmith Tattoo and Tom for making my trip to London that much better!”

“I got my nose pierced in Camden 2 weeks ago, but it fell out yesterday evening. I couldn't get it back in so I rushed to my nearest piercing shop, and they replaced it, gave me very little advice. This morning I woke up to find the 2nd piercing had fallen out in my sleep. I called Inkology and they were incredibly helpful, explaining I'd been given the wrong type of stud, and they'd be happy to set me up with the right one, in the colour I liked, and even gave me some advice on how to prevent it from closing in the meantime before I got to them. Once I was there, the piercer Mia, explained everything clearly and carefully, was incredibly kind and friendly, asked me exactly what I wanted and needed, gave me several options, then expertly and gently put in the new stud which shouldn't fall out! She then emailed me an aftercare instruction leaflet and told me to contact them or come in if I had any further problems. From the woman I spoke to on the phone, to the piercer Mia, to the guy tattooing another client next to the cash desk, everyone was friendly, kind, and welcoming - and the entire operation felt a lot more professional and hygienic than the previous 2 (highly rated on Google maps) places I'd been. If you're thinking about getting a piercing I HIGHLY recommend Inkology, I can't speak to their tattooing but I can only imagine it's done with the same level of care, attention to detail and professionality that they handled my matter with.”
