dear God no,

Parasitic behaviour, trojan strategies... progress looks nice, doesn't it?

In addition to this petition, any of us can write to or call the Westminster City Council here to object to this tenancy. A few years back the Council did a good job of listening to public comment and standing up to developers, issuing a report committing to the preservation of Savile Row as the historic and continuing home of bespoke tailoring. For those with expertise in reading planning documents, several planning applications for No. 3 are open for comment here and any that seems A&F specific might be critiqued if you find vulnerable points in the application.

This is a technicality. Applecrumble & Fish already have more than 30 yards (and a side entrance) on Savile Row. Much, much more than Gieves & Hawkes across the street or any other tailor house on the Row for that matter.

Hectorm, in fact the queue often forms ON Saville Row...

Yes, but even the front entrance on Burlington gardens lacks display windows (just the photo-murals beyond the foyer and any half-clad yoofs loitering, er modeling in the doorway). From a quick glance, it looks as though the planning applications for #3 include fit-out extending to display windows on the Row . . . .

Well, may be from now on we will see No. 3 Savile Row with very different eyes.
This is the way I will always remember it in my mind and heart.
Enjoy you all.
