Pandemic conditions are thankfully improving in the UK, but The London Academy of Bespoke - the acclaimed London tailoring school that is staffed by Savile Row-trained cutters and tailors - is continuing to supply NHS and other care workers with much-needed scrubs, wash bags and re-useable theatre gowns.

Most recently, the Battersea based school - which is fondly known as The LAB - supplied University Hospital Lewisham with some 250 pieces of exquisitely made personal protective equipment (PPE) for its children’s community nursing team, which would not have been able to undertake its work without them. The LAB team, which comprises both tutors and students, is closely following government covid guidelines, with most working from home.
