Artistry and History Unite!

SOTT made a replica village sign for us. It is BEAUTIFUL. There has been a constant stream of compliments and one of our life-long residents was brought to tears seeing it up where it belongs in the centre of the village. It is truly like-for-like with paintwork that surprised everyone. Even better, it won't need re-painting for the next 30 years!

The communications from Julie and the team are excellent and highly professional. I happily and wholly recommend this company. Thank you all on behalf of the village of Pymoor, Cambridgeshire.

Summerstown182 Blue Plaques in south west London

Plaques manufactured by Signs of the Times for Summerstown182 are all over this corner of south west London, celebrating everything from Marc Bolan's teenage years to the youngest British soldier to be involved in the First World War. Their high-quality service makes them an outstanding partner in our quest to promote lesser-known history and heritage in the Wandsworth/Tooting area. They always follow our instructions to the letter and deliver in a timely and friendly manner. Thanks Julie, Lyndie and everyone else who have created 15 beautiful plaques for us, educating young and old about this area, helping bring history to life on our streets and buildings!

Very smart sign for a special tree

Ordered a plaque for a special tree that had been planted - a red oak. The team at Sign of the Times were very helpful regarding wording. I chose a red sign with gold trim and it looked fantastic. I decided to order the oak post to position the sign on and this was easy to fix in the ground and the screws were in position to tighten the plaque to the post.
Very good communication from the team from start to finish from Julie.

Street nameplate

I wanted a Street nameplate to replace the cast iron one that came down in a storm.
SOTT were attentive and detailed in determining exactly what I wanted, providing a proof of font, text, outlines, sizes etc.
The nameplate arrived on time and was exactly what I wanted.

Thank you - not everyone appreciates that the sign doesn't deteriorate - sadly the paints never last so long and a lick of paint is all it needs! Good for another 20 years we hope! Thanks again, Lyndie

Superb service

I contacted Signs of The Times Ltd with an idea for a commemorative plaque. Their advice and collaboration throughout the initial process was invaluable and very professional. Once I commissioned the plaque I was kept well informed of the progress. They were always accommodating when I suggested minor changes. Excellent service and I highly recommend them. Well done and thank you.

I wanted to introduce my grandaughter to SOTT after shopping there with my two sisters and their daughters for over 30 years! My granddaughter was given the most fabulous introduction by C who introduced her to different designers and encouraged her to try everything on. She loved it and said it was the best day of her holiday! Thank you to the wonderful assistant who we are not supposed to name ..you know who you are! Another generation now knows the joys of SOTT!
