Praise for Lila's

Recommended Posts

I've recently had my engagement ring re-designed with Lila's Jewellery on Lordship Lane and couldn't be more pleased! The diamond in my ring is an heirloom from my grandmother. I've wanted to have my engagement ring re-designed for many years now as I wasn't completely happy with the setting I initially chose when my husband and I were engaged. I had been to Hatton Garden (among other places) in the past but was simply overwhelmed by the vast number and diverse array of jewelers there. When Lila's moved into the neighborhood, I thought I'd enquire if they could create a bespoke piece. I was pleased to find out they did. Rowena, their designer and gemmologist, did a tremendous job translating my inspiration ideas into her own design illustrations. After our initial consultation, she proceeded to make a series of drawings based on my ideas. As our ideas sharpened and came to a final design, she then sourced the best materials for my ring, even using some other stones I supplied from another ring to off-set the cost a bit. I also had grading and valuation done on the ring, which Lila's arranged for me. My ring turned out exactly like Rowena's final illustration and stayed within the budget. I can't recommend Lila's highly enough!

Seconded.

My other half and I have now purchased 4 items of jewellery since they opened..two rings and two pendents as gifts.

We've found the prices and selection are excellent, meaning that you can purchase a superb item of jewellery from below ?200.

The girls in there are great, friendly not pushy and full of honest advice.

Its actually become the only place I send my boyfriend to to look for gifts for me.

funnily enough I've been thinking of getting a ring made so after the above recommendation I think I'll speak to them about that too.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
