London has always been a city where menswear means more than one thing. It can be relaxed and Parisian, sharp and office-ready, or rooted in the kind of tailoring heritage that still makes Savile Row one of the most important streets in men’s style.
For summer, the best way to shop the city is not by trend, but by mood. Whether you are looking for something cool, something built for work, or something genuinely classic, these are three London destinations worth knowing now.
The Cool: AMI Paris, Sloane Street
AMI Paris has opened a new long-term pop-up on Sloane Street, bringing its Parisian retail world into Chelsea for an 18-month stay. The store is located at 135 Sloane Street and spans around 117 square metres, carrying menswear, womenswear and accessories from the brand’s current collections.
What makes it worth visiting is the atmosphere. The store mirrors AMI Paris’s Marais flagship in Paris, with soft beige tones, oak wood, Euville stone, gilded details and a warm residential feel that makes the space feel closer to a Paris apartment than a traditional retail floor.
It’s a strong summer stop if you are looking for relaxed tailoring, easy shirting, clean outerwear or something that feels quietly fashionable without trying too hard. AMI Paris has always done that well: clothes with personality, but not too much noise.
Address: 135 Sloane Street, London SW1X 9AX
Opening hours: Monday–Saturday 10:00–19:00; Sunday 12:00–18:00.
The Work: T.M.Lewin, Bow Lane
For something more work-focused, T.M.Lewin’s return to the City feels well timed. The brand’s Bow Lane store sits close to London’s financial district, making it an easy stop for shirts, tailoring and refreshed office dressing. Its official store listing places the Bow Lane store at 44 Bow Lane, London EC4M 9DT.
The interesting part is that T.M.Lewin no longer feels like simply “the old office shirt brand”. Its return to physical retail comes as workwear itself is changing — less rigid, more considered, and increasingly built around clothes that can move between office, meeting, dinner and travel.
The Bow Lane store also offers alterations, making it a practical choice if you want something sharper without going fully bespoke.
Address: 44 Bow Lane, London EC4M 9DT
Opening hours: Bow Lane is listed as 10:00–18:30. Check the official store page before visiting, especially around weekends or Bank Holidays.
The Classic: Richard Anderson, Savile Row
For the classic category, it has to be Savile Row — but more specifically, Richard Anderson at 13 Savile Row.
Richard Anderson is an independently run bespoke tailoring house offering bespoke garments, ready-to-wear suits, shirts, jackets and accessories. The house was founded by Richard Anderson and Brian Lishak, and Anderson’s own career is deeply tied to the Row, including years spent at Huntsman before opening his own shop.
This is the kind of stop that reminds you why London tailoring still matters. It is not just about buying a suit; it is about understanding proportion, cloth, structure and the quiet confidence that comes from clothes made properly. For someone building a serious wardrobe, this is where the conversation becomes more personal.
Richard Anderson’s bespoke work is cut and made through its own workshop, with each pattern created individually and refined through fitting — a reminder that true classic menswear is less about nostalgia and more about precision.
Address: 13 Savile Row, London W1S 3PH
Opening hours: Richard Anderson’s contact page lists usual hours as Monday–Friday 9:00–17:00, Saturday 10:00–17:00 and Sunday closed
London’s summer shopping scene works best when it is treated like a route rather than a list. Start with AMI Paris for something relaxed and cool, move through T.M.Lewin for the modern working wardrobe, and end on Savile Row for the kind of craftsmanship that never really goes out of season.
