Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Alterations / Tailors
Just FYI, George's on Wightman Road only does serious tailoring (suits etc). I tried to take some trousers there for alterations but he wasn't interested and distinctly unhelpful in recommending anywhere else.
So I went back to old favourite, Image on Fonthill Rd, Finsbury Park. They do all sorts of tailoring from easy to making wedding dresses & suits.

I've used Mary Louise on Hornsey High Street for many many years and have always been very happy with them.

We have used Zephyr, the dry cleaners on Grand Parade and they have been great!

I've always used George to do alterations, although at first, he wasn't keen.
I think it's a question of being courteous and charming.

Strange. I've recently had George alter two pairs of trousers ( don't ask ) and he was charming, and pretty cheap too.

I actually had the same experience, he wasnt very helpful or particularly friendly and said he only makes suits from scratch. Seems that he picks and chooses his customers

Dazzle on Green Lanes are excellent - the guy who runs it is a trained tailor and is really brilliant - he has done quite a few alterations for me - to trousers and jackets - and the odd replacement of broken zips. It doesn't get outsourced, he does the work himself and takes real pride in his work - and they are also really good dry cleaners and very reasonable.

I guess the service could be patchy, as I had some trousers taken up at Georges around May and it wasn't a problem. I found him to be nice enough and polite, and the work was very good. He wasn't keen on replacing the zip on my hoodie though, basically refusing on the cost alone, although he did offer to take another look if I could find a suitable zippy bit.

Well, this is where I have found Dazzle to be so good - I had a full-length zip to replace on a winter padded jacket (which has evenly spaced lines of horizontal stitching at intervals down the body), and he responded to the challenge perfectly to this difficult job, matching the with an even better zip, and making sure any stitching was re-sewn and matched where necessary, and it is as good as new.
