A J Rogers

This cosy little family run shop near Waterloo train station specialises in jewellery and watches as well as repairs of any sort of items of this kind.
The owner is somewhat eccentric, telling many a tale about his life and the history of the local area but it all adds to the charm of the shop, which stands out amongst the other local jewellers (of which there are quite a few). Despite his eccentricity, he is still very knowledgeable and has given me great assistance and advice on many visits.
I have been there on a few occasions for watch repairs, as well as browsing their products, and have found their service to be remarkably prompt, usually repairing my items in a couple of hours if they have time. The other members of staff there are always polite, friendly and ready to assist at all times as well, meaning going to A J Rogers is always a pleasant experience, whether you buy anything or not.

This little jewellers is one of my favourites as it offers such a versatile service.
As well as selling classical pieces and watchmaking, the store offers engraving and repairs.
I particularly wanted a name engraved onto the back of a miniature mirror (a cute gift for my friend) and the guy in the store was extremely helpful and the service was very efficient.
They also sell some beautiful little antique clocks, so the next time I’m in the market for a present for my elderly relatives I’ll definitely pop by.
I couldn’t fault it to be honest. I had a great time musing all the trophies in the window of the jeweller’s whilst I was waiting for my engraving, too.
