Savil Row |

Enjoying a central London location in the City of Westminster, the world famous road known as Savile Row is home to some of London’s oldest bespoke tailors and caters predominantly to men wanting to purchase that perfectly tailored suit which will help them stand out amongst the crowd. Apart from chic and elegant suits, one will also find a wide range of shirts, shoes and other fashion accessories at Savile Row for those looking for that complete makeover.
Initially created in 1695 in connection with the development of Burlington Estate, London’s Savile Row got its name from Lady Dorothy Savile who was the wife of the 3rd Earl of Burlington. Though first used as a residential area for military officers and their wives, Savile Row soon began to attract tailors from around London as England’s nobility saw the importance of being well dressed. The rich traditions of Savile Row continue to this day and customers are assured of nothing but the best in stylish sophistication and traditional English hospitality.
