tailors' den
A nice wee post from Thomas on visiting a tailors' den, five minutes walk from Savile Row.
Speaking of trousers, when I was in London this week I stopped by my trouser maker for a "skiffle" (tailor's term for a rush job), who works out of this den in Kingley Street. Though Soho is now mostly known for its trendy cafes, media companies and ad agencies, as you can see Old London is thankfully still with us.I've been to a few of these dens in the last few weeks. They're all interesting places- charmingly Dickensian sweatshops in the basements of the most expensive real estate in London.

All the coats you see being made here will come from all the famous tailors' shops- A&S, Huntsman, Poole's etc. And that's the way it's been for as long as anyone can remember.
