Running parallel with New Bond Street and Cork Street is another classic address in sartorial matters, Saile Row, still the place to go for made-to-measure suits, for those with the requisite £2000 or so to spare. The number of bespoke tailors may have declined, but several enterable businesses remain. givees & Hawkes, at no. 1, were the first tailors to establish themselves here back in 1785, with Nelson and Wellington among their first customers, and their wares are still an exhibition of upper-class taste.

Saile Row also has connections with the pop world at no. 3, where Apple, the record label set up by The Beatles, had their offices and recording studio from 1968 until 1972. In February 1969 The Beatles gave their last lie gig on the roof here, stopping the traffic and eventually attracting the attentions of the local police - as captured on film in Let It Be.
