There's a brilliant leather repair shop directly opposite Wickes on seven sisters road. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the shop! I'll get back to you. They have rescued my favourite boots on more than one occasion, most recently adding a patch and a stitch which is invisibe for a tenner. Very cheap, really friendly too. I can't recommend them highly enough. Now...if I could only remember the name!

That's the one Celia! Really good, old fashioned and friendly. Lovely hand written receipt and a phone call when the repair is done.

There's also a shoe repair / key cutting shed-sized shop under the railway bridge on West Green Road, the Seven Sisters end.  He's rescued some of my shoes.  41 bus from Turnpike Lane will take you past.
