First time here and damn, I am very pleased with the service. This has been the best opticians I've ever been to, I will explain why. The environment is so calm, clean, lots of natural lighting and spacious. All the staff here are so lovely, polite and they were patient with me. The lady who served me (sorry, I forgot her name) was very professional, knew what she was doing, she made me feel comfortable and also explained the steps of checks she was going to do.
I've finally found out what the problem was after many years of going to different opticians. The care that they provide is the best of the best and I will be coming here from now on. Thank you Coton & Hamblin team.

I have been a customer of Coton & Hamblin for over 20 years since I was a child. I now live elsewhere, but still always travel back for my eye tests. Jo and team are fantastic, they really put the effort in and make sure you choose glasses that truly suit you - I wouldn't trust my vision with anyone else. Highly recommend.

I have attended this opticians ever since I arrived in the area some 15 years ago. I have always received impeccable care and understanding from all the staff and opticians. Now, in these extraordinary times, they have adjusted their services provided ensuring I am always safe and have access to Opticians Services.

The team at C&H are always so kind, patient and professional, I travel 250miles as I can't bear to leave them. The team have looked after my daughters eyes for a number of years now and Natalie Is just simply the best with my picky teenager. Thankfully I don't have to get involved she manages everything except payment of course!

I suffer from dry eyes and have been to see Zoe Robinson. Best optometrist I have ever been to and my eyes have never been better. The care that Coton & Hamblin provide is second to none and I've never met a friendlier group of people at reception either- always greeting me with a big smile on their face no matter how busy they are. Highly recommend!

After years of bad experiences with chain opticians I have been swayed back from online purchasing by Cotton and Hamblin. I literally could not fault them. Efficient helpful friendly. Beautiful shop with lots of history. My dog chewed up my new glasses and Suzie even gave me the arms off of her own identical pair! Also lots of bargains in sales so I now have a few pairs of designer frames. So glad I found this place. I live in Bexley but it's worth the travel every time! Thanks ladies. :. Xx

I've been with Coton & Hamblin (Woolwich) since I was 3 months old, the staff in there are incredible, some of t he loveliest people I've ever met and always make me feel welcome. A great range of designer glasses and always have events going on like brand launch weeks with offers. You feel like a person here rather than just a 'number' at Specsavers where my partner goes, and you're supporting local businesses rather than the mega-corporate chains.
