Truly British: Walking past this shop the other day I was reminded of James Smith's family run business and their reliable and reputable product for a (predictable) British weather system.
"The world famous James Smith and Sons Umbrella Shop was founded in 1830 and is still owned and run as a family business. For 175 years the company has been making umbrellas, sticks and canes for both ladies and gentlemen and their reputation as the home of the London umbrella is well justified.The historic and beautiful shop is on New Oxford Street in the heart of London’s West End and is a stunning reminder of the Victorian period. The shop retains the original fittings designed and made by the master craftsman employed by the business and is a work of art in itself." http://www.james-smith.co.uk/index.cfm
