Savile Row

Reknowned Savile Row is a shopping street in the Mayfair area, London, famous for its traditional men's bespoke tailoring.  It seems that the term "bespoke" has been originated in Savile Row when cloth for a suit was said to "be spoken for" by customers.
It is currently told also as the "golden mile of tailoring".
Hystorical customers as Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson, Napoleon III and recently David Beckam, Russell Crowe and many of the High Finance district top managers keep on going to Savile Row for their own 2 and especially the 3 pieces tailored suits.
For a reference on the 300 years old association: http://www.savilerowbespoke.com/Home/index.php
