Our qualified staff can also carry out repairs and adjustments whilst you wait.
Anglo American Optical Company LTD was founded in London in 1882, with over 120 years of frame making experience. They pride themselves on manufacturing the highest quality zyl frames in the industry. They started producing frames by hand and have perfected what they believe is an art.
At the age of 23, Alain Mikli founded his own company with the stated mission to launch a new era for eyewear, a time when vision needs would no longer be in conflict with style and the notion of glasses as prosthesis would forever disappear and be replaced with true "jewelry for the eyes". It was the beginning of the Alain Mikli brand and of the "eyewear designer" concept. Model after model (at least 400 prototypes are created every year), campaign after campaign, he confirms his taste for innovation and provocation.
Cutler and Gross is a visionary British luxury eyewear brand that has been creating sunglasses and opticals for the discerning client with a sense of individual style for 46 years. The brand produces the highest quality frames, all finished by hand with the most meticulous attention to detail, using a wealth of traditional artisan eyewear craftsmanship in its own factory in Cadore, Italy.

Extremely well received. Fixed my glasses in an instant and made them look brand new!

A very unwelcoming place. The Assistant Manager seemed completely aloof from the get go. She did not even say hello when I entered and she didn't even say goodbye when I exited. Obviously, the staff here don't seem to have any manners or respect at all. Nonetheless, they seem to have a very good selection of optical frames and sunglasses. Honestly, I would never ever recommend City Opticians to anyone looking for a decent pair of glasses and/or sunglasses. Try visiting Fleet Street or High Holborn for much better optician shops.

Great selection of designer frames and really helpful staff. They were happy to help me try lots of frames off the rack and take pictures/make recommendations. I also had an eye test here which was fine.

My nose pads broke on a frame that is from a non-common make. Citi Opticians told me on the phone that they coudl help me after I tried a few shops around my workplace who said that they do cannot help. I travelled to Chancery Lane and my problem was fixed quickly. Thank you.

Service is patchy. Some staff are polite and knowledgeable, others a bit off hand.

Been getting my eyes tested, buying contact lenses and frames here for 15 years. Very friendly, always accommodating - you don't get service like this any more.

I have been to this place twice and both times I was left dissapointed. Second time I bought a pair of glasses and they broke in the first month

Been using this optician since my uni days as it was around the corner from my college, wow 8 years! I have my annual sight test and contact lens appointment here. Everyone is very helpful and not at all pushy with product. I like coming here as I feel like a valued customer and the store isn't horridly stark and bright like a lot of the chain opticians.
