James Smith & Sons

Overview

James Smith founded his umbrella firm in 1830 and the shop has been selling umbrellas in London ever since. The shop also sells ceremonial sticks and walking sticks.

With a facade that has hardly changed since the 1860s, entering this quaint old shop is like stepping back in time. Smith and Sons' staff still manufacture umbrellas using the same techniques as their predecessors in the 19th century, and still sell their canes, maces and brollies to gentry, military and royalty.
