Established in 1889, Punjab House became the recognised tailors for the British forces in Hong Kong for both officer's uniforms and civilian attire.

Having built a reputation as one of Hong Kong's leading tailors, demand in Europe and America increased so much in recent years that the owner – Mr Arshad Mahmood – decided to set up Apsley as a base in London.

As well as high-quality bespoke tailoring, Apsley also hosts occasional art exhibitions in its Pall Mall premises.
