The Bespoke Index

London · The Bespoke Index

The best bespoke tailors in London, ranked four ways

75 of the 102 London houses we list rate 4.8 or better on Google. A single ranking by rating would reproduce Google and separate nobody, so there is no top ten here. There are four lists. Each is ordered on one measure, each says what that measure is and what it does not tell you, and none of them is a judgement of the suit.

The most reviewed

Ordered by the number of Google reviews. It counts how many people have been through the door, which favours a shop on a busy street over a cutter working by appointment. It is not a measure of the work.

Aristocracy London

South Kensington★5.0(1,086 reviews)

More reviews than any house we list in any city. A South Kensington shop selling ready-to-wear formalwear as much as made to measure, and 4 of the 300 reviews we read sit at one or two star.

Edit Suits Co. London Bond Street

Made to measure from £479 in three to five weeks, by appointment on South Molton Street. 14 of the 300 we read sit at one or two star, on craftsmanship, service and the showroom.

Bespoke Tailor Studio

Bespoke Tailor Studio

Kensington★4.9(232 reviews)

Twelve tailors on Kensington Church Street. Suit alterations are what twelve reviewers describe, so establish what a full commission involves.

View profile

The lowest published starting price

Ordered by the starting price the tailor publishes on its own site. 32 of the 102 publish one; the other 70 quote on request, which is the norm on Savile Row and is not a mark against them. A starting price is the cheapest cloth, not the suit you will order.

£299

The Drop

Kensington★4.3(38 reviews)

Made to measure ordered online from a Kensington base, five weeks, or three for £50 more. The cheapest suit in London that we hold a price for, and 6 of 38 reviews sit at one or two star, on fit.

Nicolas Of London

Clerkenwell★4.1(29 reviews)

Individual paper patterns at a Goswell Road shop in Clerkenwell since 1985. 6 of 29 reviews sit at one or two star, with craftsmanship and turnaround both raised.

View profile

The fastest stated lead time

Ordered by the shortest turnaround the tailor states on its own site. 40 of the 102 state one. A stated lead time is a claim rather than a guarantee, and a range that starts low can still end high.

Arta Tailoring
1 to 6 wks

Arta Tailoring

St James's★4.9(14 reviews)

The widest range any London house states, from a small studio on Crown Passage in St James's. Two fittings. Pin the date down before you commit, because the two ends are very different commitments.

Edward Sexton

Edward Sexton

Savile Row★4.9(28 reviews)

£5,500, and the dearest house on Savile Row that will still deliver inside six weeks. Offshore bespoke with fewer fittings is offered alongside.

View profile

The fewest low reviews

Of the houses where we read at least 100 reviews, ordered by the share sitting at one or two star. A hundred is the floor because a clean record over a dozen reviews says very little. This measures consistency across a large client base, not craft.
