Excellent service, tremendous range of frames, great advice. Nothing not to like! Gillian has departed but Mohammed and his new team are off to a very strong start.

Not only is this shop a charming and idiosyncratic place to be, with an adventurous range of frames, their service turned out to go above and beyond. A pair of glasses I'd ordered had had the wrong type of lens installed. Gordon and his colleagues were so quick to correct the problem and provide perfect replacements free of charge. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience once again! I live Mexico and, come to London, at least once a year, and Spex is a must stop for me. I'm becoming a usual suspect to the shop and have bought now a couple of pair of lenses there. The range is amazing, but most importantly, what makes a difference is the staff; Gordon; super professional, and so stylish; he knows what he's talking about; he knows his frames, materials and even is well versed on graduation/optometric stuff too, a holistic approach that is. I find a major pleasure been guided by him when buying lenses; lenses are not an easy business and he knows what he is talking about, makes you feel great, and you know he's not telling you what you want to hear, but what is really good for you and he will also tell you what doesn't fit all right. Priceless and unique in these days when everyone is trying to sell no matter what. I miss this type of experiences when buying quality and unique stuff as that sold in Spex in the City, by Covent Garden. Cheers!

I especially love Gillian's range of new frames. Wicked and unique. This is turning into the place where the whole family equip their eyes. Thanks Gillian - Best frames ever! (and wonderful eye-tests too)

Forget about the big chains and go to the Spex team for outstandingly beautiful frames and bespoke service. The Spex people know what they are doing and have an eye for eyewear. They understood immediately what works for me and presented me with a great set of options (most of which designed by the Spex director, Gillian). I also appreciated the time the team took with me and the relaxed atmosphere in the beautiful Seven Dials shop. Five days later I had some very special spectacles -- and at a very competitive price.
