New Frames.
Firstly I went to Scrivens to look at some new frames. Mines had been 3 years old. Then I recalled that I was recommended Brillen by my friend. And yes top choice. Didnt dissapoint. From free eye test to customer service evertything was top notch. Could not recommend enough. Plus its a small business which I love to support.
P.S. My new frames are really cool. Love them.

Amazing service by far the best opticians I've been to, smoothly run and not pushy with sales. After working in optics for 14 years myself I would definitely return to Brillen for future glasses and eye tests.

Fabulous opticians
From entering to leaving the store it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, no pressure to buy or rush.
It's professional but friendly, lots of frames to choose from and loads cheaper than other opticians.
Would recommend to everyone 😊😊
