Club Obi Wan

Hello,

I intend to come in London soon.

Is Wested factory located at London ?

What is the address ?

Thank you.

Funny that you ask that. I am planning on going to Wested too...!!! I just ordered my LC jacket today. For me it is cheaper to pick it up myself then to let it send over.
The Wested adress can be found at www.wested.com; look at the 'contact' link.
I've done some research and their office/factory is in Swanley; close to London. You can reach it from Victoria railway station; estimation 30 min.

Good luck
Seb

Dont forget t budget for a taxi fare too - best way is to meet up with several gearheads and go and that way you can split fares.

Hey Ken,

Can I draw the conclusion that you've been to Wested before? Do you know how far it is from the Swanley trainstation? I was told that the trip from Victoria station to Swanley would be approximately 30 minutes... How far is Wested from Swanley station?

Greetz,
Seb

Doesn't anyone bother with the main site anymore?

Mike

As I recall the train journey was about 20 -30 minutes and the taxi ride about 10 though my memory is a bit foggy there. Its not too far anyway. The address as from the main site (Mike has a point!) is:

Wested Leather Company
Peter Botwright

I dont know how Peter responds to unannounced arrivals but I dont know anyone who has informed him they would like to visit and has been refused.

His factory is set up in a converted barn and he lives right beside it. Its an interesting palce to visit outside of the hustle and bustle of London. Peter was very friendly when we visited - check out this thread:

I plan on visiting Wested myself in the next 1-2 months.
