Chandlers in Kew closed in, blimey, 2016 or so. That was Doug, now retired, who went off to be Collings distributor Guitar XS; after him the shop was run by his ex-wife. Brother Charlie, ex-Kew, still has his own Guitar Experience place in Hampton, and he took over the Plek machine. Nice shop, very small, bit expensive but everything is around there.
I've always been a bit dunno about Plekking... maybe it's more angled towards being part of a production process than being best suited for one-off jobs. That was Brinsley Schwarz's feeling and he used to work there...
