Cobbler recommendations in London (or South UK)

[Northampton Novice]

Calling all members,

Do you have any shoe repairers you could recommend?

Particularly interested in having flush toe plates fitted across my rotation (up until now have been using taps) as well re-soling a pair of Lobbs (Philip II) and a blake sewn pair of Berluti wholecuts.

Cheers,

mayfair cobblers, white horse lane. just off shepherds market are very good.
there's also a family business called KG which is near mornington crescent tube. my gf wears christian louboutin and they recommend this place for their repairs. google either they're easily found.

As far as I know, the only place in London where you can get sunken toe plates fixed is Kokos in East Finchley.
Kokos works as contractors for the C&J shop.

The Lobb shoes should go to the factory.

Thanks, have used KOKOs before for re-soling C&Js. Regarding the Lobbs they've already been to the factory for their first re-sole, but I've got to say I find their soles thin and wear through them too quickly. So in order to try something different, I'm going to have them re-soled and topyed!
