I don't know the guy's name but he is brilliant- I've got a pair of my mums old knee high boots from the 70s and he has saved them and had them looking as good as new on more than one occasion.
I also had a very expensive pair of Guess shoes and he put new buckles on them for me and they look great too.
(There's also a great caff called Cafe Bianco next door if you're waiting for your shoes!)]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50537#msg-50537 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 15:13:22 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50534#msg-50534 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Paul) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50534#msg-50534 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 14:46:40 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50532#msg-50532 forum@london-se1.co.uk (JonR) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50532#msg-50532 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 14:30:47 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50529#msg-50529 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Ivanhoe) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50529#msg-50529 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 13:45:28 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50528#msg-50528 forum@london-se1.co.uk (TomLR)

After getting 4 wildly varying quotes ranging from £70 to £30 for the re-heeling alone I settled on what I felt most comfortable with - going outside of London into the real world and supporting an old fashioned cobbler working with his real hands and some conversation.

However Whittakers, 1 Mill Lane, Beverley, East Yorkshire may be too far for you to go - I kind of wish I had asked the same question you had on this Forum !

He WAS excellent though, £22 and they were both cleaned throroughly - and he even gave me soem feedback as to my gait.

If you want his number let me know]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50518#msg-50518 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 12:46:48 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50511#msg-50511 forum@london-se1.co.uk (JayBee) I have no hesitation in recommending the Cobblers Nest on Borough High Street. Personal, polite and friendly service....and, what's more, a thoroughly professional job at a reasonable price. I took a pair of favourite boots in there which I thought were lost forever and they came back literally as good as new. Fantastic!!]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50511#msg-50511 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 12:32:31 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50310#msg-50310 forum@london-se1.co.uk (maurits) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50310#msg-50310 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 10:08:38 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/50297/50306#msg-50306 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Ivanhoe)
