The world famous James Smith and Sons Umbrella Shop was founded in 1830 and is still owned and run as a family business. For 175 years the company has been making umbrellas, sticks and canes for both ladies and gentlemen and their reputation as the home of the London umbrella is well justified.

Absolutely the best! But, even if you don't buy an umbrella the store is quintessential England!
A great British institution ordered a brolly with own handle fab no computer all in a old log book
Interesting shop with excellent product knowledge and customer service.
Regardless of the rain situation, stop by and splurge on a custom-made umbrella . They aren't kidding when they say their craftsmanship can withstand a hurricane.
Genuinely great old school customer service. Modern retail take note!!
Wow, the most beautiful umbrella I ever saw :-O
100% umbrellas shop , they got everything from 10€ to + 1000€ (snake or turtle stuff).
Buy an umbrella , you'll need it, from this classic family run umbrella shop .
Best umbrella shop in London, perhaps the world?
Get the full maple wood stick one and you won't be electrocuted by lightening.

The selection at London's oldest hatters is great, the atmosphere classic and the staff kind and competent. The one in the men's section is taciturn and needs some nudging, though. - Bijan Kafi
Small shop with few kind of goods - Duang Posathorn
Amazing place and it’s a must if you visit London! You can spend hours & hours inside so plan well if you are time poor. Worth to hire the audio as it can be really crowded to get too close. - Maria
Still one of the best shopping places in london! Long queues at pay counters even on weekdays - Worldbiz
This store is amazing. Has such a huge range of comics along with comic memorabilia. Definitely worth a visit when in London - Jacques
