James Taylor & Son occupies a large, beautiful studio space in the Barley Mow Centre in Chiswick, London W4 4PH.
The Barley Mow Centre was built in 1860 and it is almost as old as our bespoke shoemaking business (1857). Originally the famous Sanderson wallpaper factory, the building was beautifully converted into private studio spaces for creative and artisanal business in 1970 - one the first of its kind in the UK. It provides us with a very attractive, friendly and professional environment and includes full disabled access, a great onsite café, and toilet facilities.
Our studio (1S.10) offers a relaxed private space for bespoke shoe consultations and fittings. Within it we have a re-creation of our traditional Marylebone shop and you can view items from our 170 year-old shoemaking heritage, some of our traditional hand-making processes, and our state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology.
