There is nothing to compare to these superb manufacturing sites in North America. It’s also refreshing to see young people continuing with these these skills.
This is a fabulous work on your part GA! Inspiring and hopefully many will see this.

So wonderful! The heart beat of a great City.

I so appreciate that the Gentle Author makes us aware of these earnest, focused, specialists.
And super photography, also.

Love this well-timed shot of optimism today.
Onward and upward.

Thank you for showing these hidden treasures of London crafts . With a government that wallows in populism and convenient distractions , the natural international markets that offer easy and cheap transport to our nearest neighbours has been made so difficult and costly to reach . Let’s hope this situation doesn’t last forever.

That was absolutely fascinating! I enjoyed every word. I knew of some, but the vast majority, of course was not aware. The talent and skills are very impressive. I would love to visit some of these (if that was possible) and see the facilities and observe the craft and production techniques. I find all that irresistibly fascinating. Well done, more such articles please. Cheers

Such a lovely heart warming article today, it’s great to know that we still have the skills to produce quality goods in this country and in London in particular. Thank you.

Brilliant! A riposte to the endless bleat that we don’t have skilled people in the UK and we can’t manufacture products on a scale to make it worthwhile, hence it all has to be imported from China. I’d rather pay a fair price for one pair of uk well made jeans than half a dozen cheap imported ones.

Nice to see that not EVERYTHING has to come from China these days. May traditional production in London continue for many generations to come!

Love & Peace

Another tremendous story from the GA, and what a superb variety of small businesses.

My sweetheart likes to quote Mad Men’s Donald Draper,

They can’t do what we do. And they hate us for it.

Harsh. But fair.

(ps, I love my clients. most days)
