Due to having the body proportions of an Orang-utang, I am looking to get some tailored suits and am looking for good suggestions in London. Anyone any experience?

As a fellow Orang-utang I've used [url= http://www.asuitthatfits.com/shop/index.php?option=com_garmentselector&Itemid=365&copy2&gclid=COfWgKnZm6cCFYMRfAodYlURcA ]A Suit That Fits[/url] and had a great service. They were very friendly, helpful and didn't make me feel stupid for not knowing everything there is about suits and styling, they've several shops in that-there London and offer great suits at a reasonable price.

Roderick Charles tick my boxes. For semi-bespoke/bespoke, I can also highly recommend Hackett on Sloane Street.

As above though, what's the budget?

Nothing stupid, but willing to pay for good service, ball-park was thinking of about £300-£400.

Is the Paul Smith clearance shop still off Oxford/Bond st?

Hit and miss but I found some really good suits in there.

Moss Bros have a new "bespoke" store, might be worth a look if you don't want to go wild with the budget.
I use the inverted commas because they aren't really bespoke at all, more made to measure.

This kinda thing should be cheaper than the 'names':
