Recommended fashion glasses shop?


Recommended Posts

Hi there


I'm looking to buy some new glasses frames and would like to buy non branded or original looking specs. There are some good shops such as opera opera in covent garden but charge around ?300-400 for just the frames. They look fab but wondered if anyone could recommend a cheaper alternative either near east dulwich or elsewhere in London?


Many thanks in advance!

Hi,


For a few years now I've bought mine online. For designer frames it is usually under ?100 including prescription& thinner lenses.


Just go to D&A or Vision Express, get your test done and and ask for a copy of your prescription. Choose your frames and note down the number. Then go to an online retailer and put in the code, voila! Save ?300!!


I've used these guys before http://www.selectspecs.com/ - I'll warn you, customer service is non-existent and you can wait two to three weeks but they do turn up. (I've also had lenses from them tested and they were apparently of excellent quality)


Hope this helps!

Be very careful if you have varifocals though.


I used to get my specs online, but it's obviously very hard to get the lenses right if they are going by photos etc.


And they didn't .... twice.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
