Church's

Kensington & Hyde Park


Dating to 1873, Church's is a byword for elegant craftsmanship, manufacturing shoes that ooze quality and may even last you a lifetime (if pampered). The now Prada-owned company has pushed the fashion boat out so all styles now get a say, from classic to cutting edge: Oxfords, brogues, loafers, sneakers, sandals and more.
