Linklater at Welling
The staff were very helpful and professional. They provided me with all the information I required and I felt I'd received a bespoke service as opposed to a 'conveyer belt' experience I'd had with other opticians. They also offered further help in the near future if I needed it

Professional and approachable staff
Mrs. Patel was highly professional, friendly and approachable. She explained everything in great detail and I have great confidence in her. Reception staff were friendly and helpful as was the lady who helped me choose and fit my new glasses.
