Ede and Ravenscroft is London's oldest tailor, established in 1689 and still operating from its historic premises on Chancery Lane. The shop has been making legal robes, academic gowns, and ceremonial dress for over 330 years, supplying judges, barristers, and universities across the country. The interior retains its Victorian character, with dark wood fittings, brass measures, and rolls of traditional fabrics. It's a living piece of London's legal and academic heritage.
