Lu’s Tailor is a great little place in Newington. It appears to be a one-man operation with a very kind Chinese man who shortens pants for only £6 and makes them slimmer for £13. After I bought some really nice pants that were a wee bit too long, I popped in here to inquire about the prices. I thought the place looked good with lots of clothes on the left-hand wall and Lu sitting right by the door at his sewing machine, traditionally wearing a tape measure around his neck. I came back again with my pants and changed into them in his changing room. He pinned them up nicely and I left them with him. Just a few days later I came to pick them up, and he had done a really nice job. Although he doesn’t appear to speak a great deal of Englihs, Lu is a friendly and extremely capable man who has great prices on the tailoring work he does. I’ll be back again when I need other clothes altered.
