The shop still feels and smells the same... I have fond memories of getting my uniforms there with my mum and sister. I love the way they have kept the energy and feel of the shop the same as it was all those years ago. It was like waking into a cloud of happy nostalgia.

I remember going to Hewitt's with my Dad in 1977, to get my school uniform and kit. My Dad said 'your Blazer needs to be slightly bigger so you grow into it'. I told my two daughters the same, when it was their turns. I remember getting excited for them, just the same feeling when I went with my own Dad.

I remember going for a fitting for my first school uniform in 1975! Pale blue shirt, navy pinafore and cardigan & a proper wool blazer and a hat with elastic that went under my chin. I tut when I look at what passes for a school blazer these days ;) wishing Hewitts many more years!

My family's tie business actually supplied them with a lot of the local school ties, so I am told! It's lovely our music school is so close to where so many children start their school journey.

Hewitt is very much a part of Croydon's history and I remember going there with my parents to get my first uniform, plimsolls and a variety of PE kit. With the closure of Turtles many years ago, it is comforting to know that we still have a Croydon shop that has survived over many, many years of change in the town.

Always had exceptional service whenever I've been in to get my daughter's uniform. Get work clothes for my husband from here too. I'm determined to be organised this year and not be waiting in the long queues the first week of September!
