I’m going to a black tie event in Oxford on a Saturday in late March. I don’t own a dinner suit, suitable shirt or bow tie. I obviously want to look good, but don’t want to spend a fortune.
I need to work out:
-
Do I hire from a place in London (where I live) or Oxford (where I can easily stay with family for a few days either side of the event, and visit frequently)?
-
In Oxford, I’m aware of the Ballroom, Shepherd & Woodward, Walters and Ede & Ravenscroft as options (and suspect E&R will come in significantly more expensive than the others – Walters and S&W both quote £100 for the full package and I’m guessing the Ballroom will be similar). Any strong views on comparative quality, or other Oxford options I’m not aware of/considering?
-
London I have absolutely no idea. Obviously there must be hundreds of options, but I have no personal familiarity with any of them. If a good one happened to be located around Crystal Palace/Anerley/Penge/Beckenham that would be extra convenient, but obviously I can go into town. Any fellow (especially SE) Londoners have recs?
