Where do you guys buy dress shoes in London?

Need a new pair of dress shoes and looking for some recommendations.

I'm Italian and back home there are loads of smaller/artisanal shoemakers where you can get really good shoes without paying a massive brand premium. Struggling to find the equivalent in London.

Don't really fancy dropping £1.2k on John Lobb etc. Just looking for something around £300-400 that is actually well made, ideally from a smaller maker rather than paying for the brand.

Are there any good places like this in London/UK? Or is the answer basically Cheaney/Meermin?

Thanks
