Agree with much of the above. Another gushing thread on Steed, A&S, G&G, Richard Anderson, Rubi etc. etc. doesn't hold much utility. We've had enough of those.
Taking the example of the tailor's den at 11 St. George's (right off Savile Row) - Denman, Jarvis & Hamilton, LG Wilkinson, Byrne & Burke, Stepehen Hitchcock and AJ Hewitt are all located just a few feet from one another. All are reputed to be very skilled, but, other than Hitchcock, have received scant mention on this forum.
Apart from ETs suggestions, I would also add some firms like Stower's Bespoke (on the Row, and former head cutter at Gieves). M&M also hosts Brian Russell (Fadia Aoun) and Katherine Sargent (another former head cutter of Gieves).
So just by visiting 2 buildings, you would have had a great opportunity to visit close to 10 top notch tailors that aren't well known within the SF community.
