RakLAW immigration solicitors advising a client

Our immigration solicitors are based at 42 Shad Thames, a three to four minute walk from Tower Bridge near Butlers Wharf, on the south bank of the Thames. From here we advise individuals, families and employers across SE1, the City and wider London on visas, settlement and British citizenship, covering everything from family immigration and work routes to naturalisation applications.

You do not need to be in London to instruct us. We act for clients across the UK and overseas, with most immigration work handled by telephone, video call and secure email. If you would rather meet in person, Tower Hill, London Bridge and Bermondsey stations are all close by. Every enquiry starts with a free 15-minute consultation with a solicitor: call 0203 345 2000 or use our contact page to book.

Immigration Solicitors near Tower Bridge: FAQs

Do I need an appointment to visit your office?

We recommend booking before you visit. Immigration matters usually need time with a solicitor who has reviewed your circumstances, and an appointment means the right person is ready for you. If you are passing our office at 42 Shad Thames you are welcome to drop in, and our team will help where they can, but a booked slot avoids a wasted journey. To book, call 0203 345 2000 or use our contact page to arrange a free 15-minute consultation at a time that suits you, in person, by telephone or by video call.

Can you help with spouse and partner visas?

Yes. Spouse and partner visas are a core part of our immigration work. We advise on entry clearance from overseas, extensions, switching from another route and the path to settlement, including the financial and English language requirements. Because the eligibility rules and thresholds change, we always check the current requirements on GOV.UK against your circumstances before advising. If your husband, wife or partner is applying from abroad, we can work with both of you by video call. You can read more on our family immigration page, or book a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your situation with a solicitor.

Do you handle visa refusals and appeals?

Yes. If your application has been refused, it is worth getting advice quickly, because appeal and review deadlines are short. We can review the refusal letter, explain why the decision was made and set out your realistic options, which may include an administrative review, an appeal to the First-tier Tribunal or a fresh application with stronger evidence. The right route depends on the visa type and the reasons given. We will be honest with you about the strength of your position rather than raise false hopes. Bring or send us the full refusal notice and your original application papers, and we can assess them during a free 15-minute consultation.

Can you advise me if I am outside London or the UK?

Yes. Although our office is near Tower Bridge, much of our immigration work is done for clients elsewhere in the UK and overseas. Applications are largely made online, and we can take instructions, review documents and prepare your case by telephone, video call and secure email. Many clients applying for entry clearance never visit us in person at all. If you later want a face-to-face meeting, our Shad Thames office is a short walk from Tower Hill, London Bridge and Bermondsey stations. Start with a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video: call 0203 345 2000 or use our contact page.

What should I bring to a first meeting?

Bring your passport and those of any family members involved, your current visa or biometric residence details, and any letters or emails from the Home Office, including refusal notices if you have them. A simple timeline of your immigration history helps: dates you entered the UK, previous visas and any gaps. For family routes, bring evidence of your relationship and finances; for work routes, your job offer or sponsorship details. Do not worry if something is missing. The first meeting is about understanding your situation, and we will give you a clear list of what is needed afterwards. Copies are fine at this stage.

How are your fees explained?

Clearly, and at the outset. Before you commit to anything, we will set out in writing what the work involves, what our fees will be and what other costs you should expect, such as Home Office application fees, which you can check on GOV.UK. We aim to avoid surprises: if anything changes, we will tell you first and explain why. The free 15-minute consultation carries no obligation, so you can understand the likely cost before deciding whether to instruct us. For more on how we charge across our services, please see our fees page or call 0203 345 2000.
