Default Good place for suits in the 'City'

My suits are knackered and so I need a few new ones. I tend to buy decent quality ones and then wear them until well worn!

I used to pop up to Bluewater but I went there on saturday and found Woodhouse has closed (they used to keep Canali, Armani, Kenzo etc), Crombi has closed and House of Fraser no longer keeps Aquascutum.

I can't be bothered to go into the West End but the City of London is quite close. Are there any decent suit shops there?

Thanks

Ignore the great unwashed above and go for a New & Lingwood suit, stocked by House of Freakouts (House of Fraser) and Jonny pukepiss (John Lewis)

Hope that helps

Gieves used to be good-if they are still going.

Both Gieves and Gieves & Hawke are 'still going'. Next door to each other on Saville Row.

In that case 'Suits You' has a sale on at the moment, with suits from £45!


And I don't 'do' Lunnen, so have no idea whether Saville Row is in the City or not.

........and I'm a girl!

Go to Slaters in any decent Northern city. e.g. Aqua Scutum for £350 vs £500 on Regent St.
