Lock & Co. Hatters | Chaplin Talks

Chaplin Talks

Welcome to a very special episode of Chaplin Talks. Today I'm in London visiting the world's oldest hat shop which was established in 1676. I speak to Roger Stephenson who tells us the history of this iconic shop and explains how the bowler hat was invented here in 1849.
Lock. & Co Hatters have made hats for everyone from the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin.
Charlie Chaplin ordered many hats from here and had them delivered to the Savoy Hotel.
The shop is also famous for appearing in Kingsman: The Secret Service and The Good Liar starring Hellen Mirren and Ian Mckellen.
You Can find Lock & Co. at 6 St. James's Street, SW1A 1EF, London, UK.
