The shop was called FOSTERS and, yes, I felt very uncomfortable there too but the Levis were so darn cheap. The Levis were 'seconds' though with the red tabs cut off. You could always stitch a complete red tab from your worn out 'first Levis onto the seconds and voila: a normal looking pair for less than half the price ! Luckily, I fit standard Levis so the guy never had to do any alterations (phew !) but I always thoroughly had the jeans washed returning home ! I daren't touch anything in that back room, mind ...

Remember it well - suits you sir - he was as camp as a row of tents and yes he did try to feel you when when measuring your inside leg.

    • Niko's number is 07818 607583 Also here to add a positive review for Niko. Recently moved into a flat that had some terrible plumbing which caused all the outflow from the washing machine to flow out my sink. Was in desperate need of an emergency plumber as was just about to go away too, and Niko responded quickly and came along and helped resolve it without hiked up emergency or callout fees.  After sorting that, also upgraded the shower, and screen in my bathroom which needed replacing; even taking the old materials with him to get rid of.  Really happy with my experience and can't recommend him highly enough.
    • According to the Community Fibre location checker, they don't appear to service the Forest Hill end of Lordship Lane. 
    • I think this will be my only league and definitely the most important. 😁
    • Hey there,  I am looking for a studio space with outdoor access (could be unused garage etc) to share with a collaborator. We do natural installations, stage design for musicians, and floristry.  Am happy to share our work for reference, but would love to pay someone to use their unwanted space! Thanks so much,  Elektra
