London style – beyond the high street
London's reputation as a centre of style and commerce makes it one of the best cities in the world to find a beautifully made tie. From the grand department stores of the West End to the independent boutiques tucked away along the riverside, the city has no shortage of options for the discerning shopper.
For those searching specifically for something a little different – a tie that feels like wearable art rather than a uniform – the best discoveries are often made away from the obvious destinations.
One such place is Furious Goose, an artist-led brand with a showroom at Oxo Tower Wharf on London's South Bank. Here you'll find silk neck ties and bow ties designed with the same bold sensibility that informs the brand's celebrated scarf collection. Each design is created for someone who takes their personal style seriously – and who knows that the right tie can make a suit.
If you're heading into the city and looking for a silk tie that actually says something, the Furious Goose showroom is well worth the detour.
What is Oxo Tower Wharf?
Oxo Tower Wharf is one of London's most unknown and special destinations. Sitting right on the Thames between Tate Modern and the London Eye, it is home to a collection of independent designers, galleries, and studios – the kind of place where you can meet the maker behind the product.
Unlike the department stores and high street chain-stores that dominate central London, Oxo Tower Wharf is built around small, independent, creative brands. You'll find fashion designers, jewellers, milliners, leatherworkers, weavers, and – of course – Furious Goose.
The Furious Goose showroom sits at the heart of this creative community. Visitors can browse a full range of silk ties, bow ties, and pocket squares alongside the wider collection of scarves and cashmere accessories. It's a calm, beautifully curated space with views across the river – the kind of shopping experience that feels nothing like a department store.
The tie collection includes:
- Silk and wool neck ties in bold geometric and illustrative prints
- Knitted silk ties made in Ireland
- Silk bow ties for formal and creative occasions
- Limited edition and small-batch designs
Many visitors find their way to the showroom while walking the Thames path, but it is also very easy to reach from the City and London's main business districts.

Why London is still the right place to look for the best silk ties
The silk tie has been a cornerstone of professional and formal British dressing for well over a century. And while workplace dress codes have relaxed across many industries, the well-chosen tie has lost none of its power to communicate confidence, personality, and a certain kind of care.
London remains one of the best cities in the world to find a genuinely excellent silk tie. The city's long association with fine tailoring and textile craft means there are still makers here – and in the brands that draw on that tradition – who treat tie-making with real seriousness.
What serious tie buyers are looking for:
- Pure silk with excellent drape and a confident knot
- Bold, original designs that go beyond the predictable stripe or spot
- Small-batch production that means not everyone is wearing the same tie
- An independent designer with a recognisable point of view
- Something that works as well at a wedding as it does at the office
Furious Goose ties are designed with exactly these qualities in mind. The prints draw on the same artistic language as the brand's award-winning scarf collection — bold compositions that reference art, science, and cultural history.
Why visit the Furious Goose showroom?

Whether you're searching for a silk tie for a specific occasion – a wedding, a job interview, an important client meeting – or simply looking to add something genuinely different to your wardrobe, the showroom is worth the trip.
