What really sets this Specsavers apart is the staff’s energy. It’s not that clinical, hushed library atmosphere. People are laughing, chatting, and comparing frames. I overheard one assistant telling a customer, “Honestly, those frames make you look like a film director. All you need is a beret.” It was that kind of empowering, silly banter that makes you forget you’re in a medical setting.

They also have a great selection of sunglasses – perfect for those rare London sunny days. You can get prescription sunglasses made up in under an hour, which is basically magic. I got a pair with a blue mirror tint, and I now walk down Mare Street feeling like I’m in a movie. A very blurry movie, until I put them on, that is.
Don’t be scared of the walk-in queue, either. It moves fast. The front desk team is like a well-oiled machine of friendly efficiency. They’ll book you in for an appointment while also recommending a good cafe nearby for a post-exam coffee. Hackney hospitality at its finest.
