Savile Row tailoring, heritage houses, and the London addresses that have dressed royalty for centuries — a visitor's guide to the real thing.
The word "bespoke" was coined here — cloth "spoken for" by a customer. At just 270 metres, this Mayfair street is the world's number-one destination for a hand-made suit, with houses that have dressed royalty and, famously, James Bond.
Military roots and royal warrants, at No. 1 since 1912. Quiet luxury that connects heritage with progressive ready-to-wear.
Equestrian tailoring heritage, dressing European aristocracy since 1849. Renowned for a precise cut — and one of the Row's most forward-looking houses.
Credited with creating the dinner jacket. The oldest name on the Row, and still setting the standard for classic English tailoring.
British luxury isn't loud — it trades on provenance and craft. These are the heritage names that define it, most with London flagships and all carried at Harrods, Selfridges and Liberty.
The single most recognisable piece of British fashion. If you buy one British thing, this is the safe, timeless choice.
Britain's answer to the luxury handbag — understated, beautifully made, and less conspicuous than its continental rivals.
Not a souvenir but an investment — a suit built to last decades, made to your exact measurements. The ultimate British luxury.

Trains from London Paddington reach Moreton-in-Marsh in about 1 hour 25 minutes and Kingham in about 1 hour 40 minutes. The difficulty starts at the station: the prettiest villages are spread out, and local buses are infrequent.
Better still, stay a night or two at a country-house hotel. The villages are at their best early in the morning and in the evening, after the day visitors have left.
A: Yes, to stations such as Moreton-in-Marsh and Kingham from London Paddington. To see several villages, add a local driver or a small-group tour.
