Reviews of George & Son

C. D.

There is no other tailor in London I would go to. I cannot highly recommend them enough! I’m a university student, and I simply cannot afford to go to a shop like The Restory, so after many hours of research, I settled on this lovely business. George was able to save my favourite pairs of jeans. When I came to pick them up today, George said that they had worked magic for me, and I could not agree more! I let him know that I am not against visible repairs in my clothing, as I would rather have the integrity and strength of the fabric. And they gave me both invisible mending and strength. For my services, I was quoted £95 - four pairs of jeans, each with rips and tears which he wanted to repair with patches. With less than £25 per pair, George was able to help save me money from having to buy new pairs of jeans AND he saved them from having to get recycled. Not only is it an incredibly knowledgeable and professional business, it is welcoming - George was interested in my life and remembered my name a couple of weeks later when I was able to pick up my pieces. Thank you George and Son. I cannot thank you enough for your amazing work, and I cannot wait to come back!!!

I’ve moved into the local area recently and tried George & Sons for alterations to two shirts and a pair of trousers. George is very friendly and a great tailor, as is Sasha (who also works in the shop). They quoted me a very reasonable price for the alterations and had them ready in two days. I tried the shirts back on in the shop, and when we decided to take them in an inch or so more around the middle, George and Sasha did the extra alterations in front of me there and then and they are now perfect. Overall, George & Sons has proven to be a very good find for me. The rates are very reasonable for central London, the service is high quality and extremely prompt, and George himself is a very experienced tailor with 18 years spent in the current store. He’s also just a nice guy.

N. S.

Really great service. £12 to hem my new suit trousers. Really welcoming and clearly George enjoys his work which makes a really pleasant change. Took them in today at 2pm and got a call just before 3pm to say they were ready to pick up. Looks like a good job. After I purchased un-hemmed trousers for a suit, I had been struggling to find time or an open nearby tailor. I’d had massively overpriced charges from a nearby chain dry cleaners a few months ago so was keen to try an independent tailor.

I’ve been looking for a tailor in central London for ages. Tried a few, some were overpriced, others weren’t clear what I was looking for with my suits. I tried George’s yesterday and picked up my suit jacket today. The work is excellent, he managed exactly what I asked for and didn’t cut any corners. The jacket fits my frame and sleeves are perfect. He is attentive, kind and I’ll be returning with more alterations in the future. Very welcoming and amazing at what he does. Five stars, best service. Thanks George. Mr Gardner ;-)

M.

I had the best experience at George & Son. Not only George himself is a very positive man, he is also very successful at his job. I've been going to him for tailoring for a while and he has always done an amazing job. Would definitely recommend.

J. W.

George did an incredible job with two pairs of trousers I needed adjusting quickly. Both completed in under one day. His prices are very reasonable and his friendly demeanor made me feel relaxed during the fitting. He is a gentleman.

E. L.

Excellent service, George was very attentive, friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. I had my dress taken in at the waist and he offered to have it completed by the end of the day if I needed it. Would definitely recommend and will be returning again!

A. K.

Absolutely amazing service. Customer experience was 10/10 and turnaround time was so quick! Alterations were perfect and prices were affordable! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for an experienced tailor. George is absolutely lovely to work with.

A. B.

Came here to have a pair of trousers adjusted and not only did George do an excellent job, it was also very reasonable and completed the same day! On top of being an excellent tailor, George also happens to be a really nice guy. I'll definitely be back!

M. D.

This is a fantastic business! Friendly, efficient and professional. Have done a great job on several pairs of trousers and a dress that have all been taken up. Would highly recommend. Thank you George

J. T.

Took a post lockdown moth eaten suit jacket in to be repaired. George did a great job at fixing it and at taking on the waist. Fits perfectly. Great job, fast and wonderful service. Highly recommend.

J. P.

Excellent tailors: took 4 jackets there to be taken in and was delighted with the fit of all of them. George was very personable and helpful throughout, and most impressively they managed to return them all to me promptly within a week. Thank-you!

L. S.

Fantastic service! Had two pairs of trousers altered and ready in the same day. Very pleased with the quality, and will be coming back for any future alteration needs

S. K.

I have been going to George & sons for several year now and even though I have tailors close to me I prefer to come her due to the service and quality of work. For example I came in the other day and they were really short on staff and told me it may be delayed but I told them I really needed it by a certain date for my birthday and they went above and beyond and got the work done for me to collect the very next day

K. T.

Really great work! George is lovely and found the perfect colour zip to replace my broken one. Really quick work, they got my zip fixed the same afternoon and for a great price. Will definitely be using again in future :)

H. C.

Took trousers to be taken in around the waist - very quick turnaround and perfect fit. George is lovely and very responsive with regards to timings. Will definitely be coming here for other alterations.

M. D.

George was a huge help to me, getting my suit altered just in time for a big event I had coming up. Not only was I happy with the service I received, but with the great customer service I received too.

C. C.

George helped me alter my three-piece suit to an extent no other Tailor has ever done for me before: really looking at my body shape and using innovative methods imagined on the spot to improve the fit. George was also extremely prompt: sometimes doing the alterations on the spot. And very respectful of my time: sending me text messages when garments were ready to collect. I would recommend George to anyone really, and especially if ,like me, you are a rather muscular and no other tailors ever got it right. George goes above and beyond to get it right and will tell you, in all honesty, whether he thinks an alteration is necessary or not.

A. O.

Very caring and helpful. Felt very welcoming and I can always trust with the work they do. Recommend to people seeking a good tailor service :)

H. N. I.

I needed to close the slits of my dress few inches and he did the job on the same day. Very quick, clean and proper. Definitely recommend!

A. M.

Would definitely recommend! I had several items to alter (a jumpsuit, 2 dresses and a pair of trousers). George was very helpful, had a great eye for detail and worked very fast - the items were ready the same day!

G. M.

Great service. George was able to alter three items for me in less than 2 hours (and stayed past working hours to finish the job!). Impressed with the quality and service!

E. P.

George took up two sets of silk trousers for me in one hour. So quick, great attention to detail and reasonably priced. Will be sure to go back next time

l. j.

Very good service, I think everyone that need alternations of their clothes should come to this place, he will not let you down!!! Probably the best tailor around Westminster.

H. H.

After having purchased an 80s suit the other day that was too huge for me, I ended up looking up for tailors despite the fact that it was my first time in London and I didn't know how to get around here. George was very friendly and helpful and quick at making jokes. Due to the fact that my suit was very big George ended up doing a ton of alterations for me. I waited for less than a week to get the suit back, and the result was perfect. Really recommend this place!

Y. A. G.

I've been super happy with every single alteration I've had done here. Super quick and always good results!

A. B.

Super speedy service and very helpful! Very reasonable prices also. Will definitely be using again. Total experts!

J. L.

I went to George with an overly large jumpsuit (with a lot of excess fabric to be removed head to toe). He was incredibly friendly with his services, and went out of the way to find different solutions so that I would be happy with the results (he won’t try to upsell when there is a cheaper and simpler fix). He made me feel very comfortable leaving expensive items in his hands as a first time customer, and only took him one day to complete the massive fixes!

A.

They made the alterations to 2 suit trousers very promptly. They even called to let me know that the alterations had been made. Very happy with the service! One thing to mention is that the opening hours during covid are 10:00 to 14:30

D. A.

George is a true gentleman, he took care of a cigarette burn on my favourite coat and returned it the same day. Looks as if nothing ever happened, now I can wear it again with pride. Highly recommended

s.

I've just had the sleeves of a dress fixes, as they were too long and George was so kind to fix it for me. What surprised me is that he fixed it faster than I thought, which was a nice surprise. He's also a perfectionist, which is important when altering clothes. And not only that, but he's really friendly and puts one at ease. Will use his services for future. Many thanks, Sofia

O. S.

George made the amendments to my suit (jacket and trousers plus dry ckeaning) within 36 hours. Great quality and service at reasonable prices.

P. S.

Definitely recommend! George is a true Gentleman and a Master of his craft providing excellent service – adjusted two of my shirts immediately and after a try-on did some final touches, so the result was beyond expectation. Thank you, Sir.

E. G.

George did such a great job altering my dress. He did it so quickly as I needed it done urgently and I was really pleased with the result.

M. K.

George is very friendly, alterations are turned around in a short period of time and cannot fault the quality of the alterations.

K. S.

I took in two suits to be altered - two pairs of trousers which needed to be shortened at the waist and have the legs tapered throughout, and two jackets which needed to be tightened around the chest. I was a bit worried as they were fairly expensive suits and I had never gone to George & Sons, but the place was recommended to me by a friend and did not disappoint. The alterations were done in only a few days, and the result was perfect. The staff was also very friendly and helpful when taking measures, which is always a plus! I will definitely be back - thanks for an incredible service!

A. G.

George has altered a number of my coats and all have been tailored to fit perfectly. He is completely charming as well! I would definitely recommend his service to others.

M. N.

Great service and price, very quick turn around. Will definitely go back to George. :)

S. J. F.

Excellent service, reasonably priced and super quick turnaround. George and his team have done an absolutely amazing job with altering various items of clothing that didn't fit me properly. I am absolutely thrilled and will keep coming back.

H. S.

I have been to tailors all around the world. And I can honestly say that George and his tailors are world class. He has a excellent eye for fashion and fit. And his attention to detail is far superior. He’s an outstanding tailor and I highly recommend him.

H. A.

George was very helpful with helping rescue an old dress that was too small. Very friendly service. Good price. Thank you!

O. B.

George and Sasha are incredibly fast and hardworking. I've been so impressed with the quality of their work and the pricing is very fair for the speed and level of work they have done for me. I will be coming here for all my future tailoring.

W. S.

This guy is incredible. Does the work himself. Very experienced and quality clothes altering and flexible with timing. Accommodating and friendly too! Thanks George!

M. D.

Great service - had to have two pairs of trousers taken in after losing some weight. Very friendly, fast work, and they were happy to let a pair out a bit (free of charge) after 2 weeks. Dry cleaning fees look very reasonable as well - will be back.

c. A.

I had to get Jeans rips repaired and an over sized shirt tailored to a more slimmed fit. Super friendly and next day time frame was not an issue. Sent me a message that the items were ready to collect the next day. Prices were very fair too. Very happy on this find!

M. P.

Excellent, reliable and friendly service. Alterations exactly as requested and very quick turn-around.

G. G.

As a tall female I often struggle with trousers being long enough, even when from the “tall” section. More often than not they are excessively wide or baggy too. I had 7 pairs of trousers that I really liked and had decided to buy in hope that they could be altered. All were too short, and one pair in particular a gorgeous colour but just too baggy and shapeless. I didn’t want to risk a dodgy job being done and waste not only my lovely trousers but a tonne of money. I found multiple good online reviews of George and was not disappointed. All trousers were altered to perfection, and when one pair on pick up was still a little shorter than desired, they were fixed on the spot for me to save me. George had even forgotten a pair of trousers when giving the total quote for me, and to save me the shock of paying more, graciously did them for free. Quality work at a competitive price, thank you, George.

Posting for my colleague who doesn't have a google account: From Louise H: I was really impressed with the service I received at this Tailors, I was very nervous to take a dress I’m wearing to a wedding to any tailors in case it didn’t come out right. I was very tight for time and only had 4 days. The staff were so friendly and helpful giving options of how was best to alter the dress in line with the style. They said I could come in half way through the week to see how it was looking. I went in the following day to ask if they could potentially finish it a day earlier than agreed after worrying all night that I wouldn’t have it ready in time. Not only did they actually have the dress already altered and finished the day after I dropped it off, they did a really lovely job. The only downside was that it was more expensive than I was expecting but I’m very happy with the results and would highly recommend. Thanks so much! Louise

N. A.

I have been to George and Sons for dry cleaning in the past and always received excellent service. They recently tailored a suit for me, and again I was impressed. Very friendly and offered great advice. Highly recommended.

B. B.

Such a pleasurable experience and unbelievably speedy. Glad i walked an extra 15 minutes to this special place

M. T.

Where do I even begin with George and sons?!? George was very quick at getting the job done, he would literally bend over backwards to please the customer. Cornelia was as friendly as ever! My trousers and suit where tailored to perfection! Overall my experience was a 5* service! A lot of credit to all the staff at George and sons.

L. C.

I've been using George & Sons for nearly 10 years. I trust them to do a brilliant job every time ; from a straightforward alteration, thru to more complex requests and invisible mending. They have huge experience, are always welcoming and get your job done on time and to a very high standard. Recommended without hesitation.

P. U.

I rarely write reviews but George and Inga are such wonderful people and tailors that I thought their business warrants a 5 star review. They do high quality of work with great attention to detail for a very reasonable price. They are by far the best tailors I have found over my last 16 years living in London. Try them and you will see why I am giving them 5 stars.

D. S.

Incredibly happy with the my whole experience with George & Cornelia. They were both very friendly and attentive. The alteration made to my dress by Cornelia was outstanding and done very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend George & Son!

T. Y.

George did a very good job of handling an odd request. The customer service was great and George & his team were on hand to help with my last minute issue and to ensure that my needs were met. I would highly recommend

c. w.

First impression was too much careful and takes so long time to checking process for only simple replacement. At that time I was irritated. But my coat is back with perfect work only 2days. Amazing work!!!

J. G.

This business have always delivered a friendly and professional service extremely swiftly. I will continue to bring my suiting here to be altered perfectly. Thank you for being so consistent in service.

D. R.

Pricey, and not very friendly attitude from the guy who runs the place - I got the feeling he wanted to take me for the most he possibly could with no thought of repeat business. The woman who did the work was Ok, the work was Ok, but seemed complicit in an attitude of exploitation.

E. K.

Amazing tailor, she always does a great job. I keep going there for alterations even though I moved to different area. Highly recommend their services.

E. M.

The zipper on my dress broke the night before I needed it. Called to see if I could have a new zipper put in and an hour later my dress was good as new!! So friendly and excellent service!!

M. J.

Great service for a reasonable price. I had a very specific request to have a fencing lame altered to make it smaller. It was done perfectly with a very honest and friendly attitude.

A. M.

George and his team are super friendly, responsive and professional. He altered 3 shirts and I'm very happy with the outcome.

Had good service here. They did a very good job of some alterations I needed doing and the price was quite reasonable

G. t.

Always a very good job done, prompt and reasonably priced. I always find the staff very friendly - I think they are really nice people - but I've seen customers be rude or short with them and they don't take that kind of attitude. And personally I think they're right not to.

A. B.

Good service, good quality work and fair prices! highly recommended. Alex

The kind of service you don't often get nowadays. A proper small business run by a dedicated craftsman with a lot of personality, and great personalised service.

D. H.

(Translated) It was a wonderfully beautiful finish and kind service. I asked for the suit to be hemmed, but the finish was inconspicuous and the backside was covered with a reinforcement cloth, which was a satisfactory result. I don't remember the price clearly, but I think it was below £ 10. If it's available, it will be finished on the spot, but I think that it is a popular store because regular customers visited one after another while waiting. The good English of a shopkeeper who likes jokes is easy to understand and entertains customers. (Original) 素晴らしく綺麗な仕上がりと親切なサービスでした。スーツの裾上げをお願いしたのですが、表面に目立たない仕上げと、裏面には補強のためのあて布をつけてくれて満足なできばえでした。価格ははっきり覚えていないのですが£10以下だったかと思います。手が空いていればその場で仕上げてくれるのですが、待っている間にも次々と常連客が立ち寄っていたので人気店なのだと思います。 冗談が好きな人あたりのよい店主の英語は分かりやすく、客を楽しませてくれます。
