They give you perfect advice in whatever you need and they actuallly care about doing a good honest job. They are not into being all charming and image more than substance, they actually just do a good job. I really cannot say more than that, except I wish all places were like them.

I was promised it would be completed Tuesday, but it wasn't ready. They then say it'll be ready Tuesday afternoon -- wasn't ready then either.

Having been to one too many rude and disappointing Timpsons across London, it was a relief to find a place that I can return to again and again for my well-worn shoes (that's what London does to you - the pavements ruin your shoes!).

Forget Timpsons and everything you thought you knew about mending shoes…read more This guy performs magic on your footwear and can restore anything to brand new state. You can tell he's a man who loves his trade. He brought my boots from the dead for 18 pounds. I would have paid him double that as they were expensive boots. The result was as-new boots. Same result with my wife's boots as well. If you have a pair of shoes that you really like but have gone pear shape, make an effort, go to Kingston and give it Tom. He's right there in the station.

The staff are really nice in here and they have often done jobs there and then for me when I have had a shoe emergency! They always get the jobs done for when you want them, and often this is on the same day. If I take my black boots in for new heel tips, they always black up the heels aswell for no extra charge to make them look as good as new. I am always really pleased with the job that they do and the prices are reasonable too. Certainly a lot cheaper than getting new boots! They also cut keys and sell gift items such as silver photo frames and other silver collectables.
