Which London street is famous for bespoke tailoring?

The London street famous for bespoke tailoring is Savile Row.

Savile Row is a short street in Mayfair, central London, known internationally for individually fitted men’s suits and hand-oriented tailoring. Tailors began establishing businesses in the surrounding area in the late 18th century, and firms were operating on Savile Row itself by the early 19th century.

Henry Poole is closely associated with the street’s rise: in 1846, the firm opened an entrance onto Savile Row. Poole is also credited with developing the dinner jacket after making a smoking jacket for the future Edward VII in 1860. The street later became associated with the term “bespoke,” meaning clothing made to a customer’s order.

Savile Row is not simply a shopping street for ready-made suits. Traditional bespoke work involves measurements, fittings, pattern cutting, and hand finishing. Modern designers have broadened its style, and some houses now serve women as well. Oxford Street is known mainly for retail, while Bond Street is associated with luxury shops and galleries.
