where to buy fabric in London?

[Backintime4breakfast]

Hi. up in oxford street today.....anywhere close by to get cheap dressmaking fabric once Ive drooled at everything in Liberty? thanks

John Lewis?

John Lewis is the only haberdashers in Oxford Street that I can think of! Otherwise it's markets in the suburbs like Brixton, Whitechapel, and Wembley. I have a haberdasher/sewing shop near me in East Dulwich called Really Maria, who is very good.

There are a couple of fabric shops in soho on Berwick Street near oxford street end

There is no cheap dressmaking fabric in central London!
John Lewis is your best bet on oxford street, they have a good haberdashery section.

Not sure how cheap they are though

Loads in Soho eg

The Berwick street shops are very beautiful and if you root around there are bolts of fabric that are on sale and bits and pieces. . Depends what u need. Pop into liberty for off cuts. John Lewis.

Quick Google search: MacCulloch and Wallis 25-26 Poland Street Soho.
Cloth House 47 Berwick Street.
Berwick Street cloth shop at no. 14.
Joel and Son, 73-87 Church Street Marylebone. (Upmarket designer fabrics)

MacCulloch and Wallis used to be an amazing haberdashers between Oxford St and Hanover Square - might be worth checking if they are still around the area.

I’m no dressmaker but I think the place I got the fabric for my wedding dress (13 years ago!) was Jason & Sons near Edgeware Road tube (Bakerloo line from Oxford Circus). If you have time you could do a trip further afield, I saw Goldhawk Road recommended.

Sorry - Jason’s Fabrics

What is cheap ? Central London will be maybe 20 plus a meter...some shops in walthamstow do same for a fiver !.. always found Soho silly prices as is John Lewis etc...maybe Brixton but I haven't been for years...used to be good.

wow, thanks everyone....was not expecting so many options!

If ever you are in walthamstow...go down the high street to Saeeds shop...has lovely fabrics...and a fraction of john lewis and soho prices...has huge range , also maybe 5 other fabric shops selling fabric from £1 a metre...a lot of it is rubbish but sometimes nice ... anyway there are a lot of shops there and maybe 3 or 4 market stalls also near the sainsburys.

Are you looking for Liberty style prints
Goldhawk Road has fabric shops
Maccullouch and Wallis is lovely and worth a look.
A large part of Liberty haberdashery has been taken over by Merchant Mills but liberty were doing 1m off cuts for silly prices recently
