Just popped into A View opticians while passing as one of my contact lenses was irritating me and I didn’t have a spare with me. My first impressions of this place is so high! I had no appointment and not an existing patient. Tony helped me by having a quick look in my irritated eye to see if everything was ok, looked at my prescription and then got a new contact lens for me - thankyou so much for seeing me - you have made my day and saved me from a very sore eye!

I went to A View Opticians for my eye exams and contact lenses when I first moved to London 2 years ago, based on their excellent Google reviews among a wealth of opticians on the same street. A View definitely lived up to and exceeded the hype!
Tony, the owner, is welcoming, funny, professional, and passionate about what he does. He always helped me re-fit my glasses or clean the nooks and crannies of them when I was walking by on the way to get ice cream, and his professional services are always prompt & considerate.
He treats you more like a friend than a customer but always gets the job done

I highly recommend A View on Upper Street, it is very comforting to go back to the same optician over the years and see the same people working there, a rare sight in fast moving London! Tony took a lot of time for us to choose glasses and to give us personalised advise, he cares deeply about glasses and their wearers! It’s also nice to go back for small adjustments or even just for a chat. 5 🌟 for A View Opticians as well as their qualified and likeable staff. 👓☀️

I found A View via Google and decided to go with them because of the very positive reviews.
When I first visited, Tony was indeed very helpful and delivered a professional and knowledgeable service. It does seem evident that he enjoys his profession.
However, my experience echoes the 3-star review of a previous customer (Tony), as the second time I visited A View, Tony was not friendly, but dismissive and haughty. Whether this was due to the fact that other customers were waiting, it was the end of the day, a purchase had already been made, or whatever reason, it is a shame as Tony is a knowledgeable

I usually do not write reviews but I just came back from my eye exam and buying new frames at A View and felt I absolutely needed to leave a comment. Having worn glasses my whole life I can say that this was hands down the best customer service experience I have ever had at any optician. I received the most thorough eye exam with state of the art technology (really fascinating) and felt like I was in the best of hands. Also Tony was exceptionally helpful, friendly and professional when helping me select my frames and lenses. I will definitely recommend A View to anyone I know!

Brilliant customer service from start to finish.
I experienced the most thorough eye examination. From eye test, contact lenses check up and health of my eyes. An absolutely enjoyable and informative time!
Tony, as always, was professional, polite, efficient and a great help in picking out the right frame for me.
I absolutely love my new glasses!
Thank you Tony and A View Team!
