How many old style cobblers do you know? Ones that can look at a pair of shoes, bag, whatever and…read moresay I think I can fix that and do - charging whatever whatever it cost - not what they can get away with. Len is a craftsman, after 60 years in the trade, he ought to be. You can trust your shoes to him and he will repair them perfectly. Heels cost about £6 - all depending. The first time you discover him, you will end up rummaging through those shoes, hunting out those old favourites and letting him breathe new life into them.

Just had some Capped Oxfords refurbed by James'. I realised a few years ago that leather soled…read moreshoes are a bad idea in the U.K. 5 minutes in the rain and you have wet feet. This and you just don't get the mileage out of leather soles. Which means you keep needing to replace them as well as having wet feet which is expensive as well as damp. I've had this pair a few years and rarely wear them but they're very comfortable and so I thought I'd give them a new lease of life. I have also been thinking about switching a few pairs of my leather soled shoes to Dainite soles which are the regular non-leather alternative for a quality shoe. So I dropped them into James and got these Vibram soles put on. In a tasteful blue with cool detailing visible on the side, they look the part, they will wear much better than the previous rubber soles and they'll keep my feet dry too!

I have gone to several shoe repair and key making shops and they are often dingy and littered with shoes, not so with the Master Cobbler. Every thing is neat and in perfect order. Not only is the staff friendly but extremely competent. I would feel comfortable leaving high end shoes there ,and I'm talking Jimmy Choo all the way down to my Buster Browns. The Master Cobbler is a great shop. So when you need to have a pair of shoes fixed, this is the place to go.

I walked into this place, and though the key guy wasn't there, they told me when he would be in the next day and where I could go to get a key made if it couldn't wait. It could wait, and they were so nice, so I went back the next day and only waited 5 minutes to have my 2 keys made (all the while they were apologizing for the wait!) and charged me half of what I was quoted at the previous place. Go here if you want keys made for cheap and pleasant people to talk to while you're waiting (all of 5 minutes!) Oh, and the most important thing, both keys worked!

I think it's a family run business (there are definitely a few people there who look like they share the same gene pool, that's how I'm basing my guess here). They fitted the locks on my new house last year. They were efficient and really reasonably priced. If you live nearby, ie, in Surrey Quays, Canada Water, Rotherhithe, Bermondsey, there's a whole host of other stuff on offer in the shop like key cutting, shoe repairs etc. They fixed my very high heeled boot once immediately when I was on the move and the zip broke (=awesome) so I could carry on with my night and head out. They also cut keys, and it's cheap. Every set I've had made up works perfectly. You'd be "locky" to know these guys. Mwa ha ha....
