Savile Row

Savile Row is famous for its traditional men's bespoke tailoring.

The term "bespoke" is understood to have originated in Savile Row when cloth for a suit was said to "be spoken for" by individual customers. The short street is termed the "golden mile of tailoring", where customers have included Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson, Prince Charles, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and Napoleon III.

Savile Row runs parallel to Regent Street between Conduit Street at the northern end and Vigo Street at the southern. Linking roads include Burlington Place, Clifford Street and Burlington Gardens.

The upper floors of its eighteenth-century houses are home to galleries, such as the Matthew Bown Gallery and Laurent Delaye Gallery, both at 11 Savile Row.
