Custom suit tailoring in Paris or London

So I've been to Hong Kong and had a very reasonable suit made in a weekend.... I'm not expecting to find that.
I realise that 2 weeks is considered fast for everyone else in the world.
I'm not looking for an expensive suit just a reasonable quality suit that fits me.

Does anyone know of any tailors in Paris or London that promote themselves as taking less than a week do make a suit?
And then any knowledge about prices and quality of their workmanship?

It's OK if there are no replies, I figure if there is any tailor out there then fodors would know

Thanks

So you just want made to measure? Will this fit? Depends on how close you are to the stock pattern.

These days some/many shops are just taking your measurements and sending it out. Many of the better brands offer made to measure services. Obviously for an even higher price than off the rack.

I'd lean towards a brand that you know almost fits you off the rack.

I only ever wear suits made for me, but I'd not go to either Paris or London for them to be made. My local tailor in Bradford takes a couple of weeks, but it depends on the queue time.
