The boots they sell in the shops here in London are made in factories in China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, just like the boots the sell in the rest of the world. There is one factory in England that makes a range of boots for Dr martens called "made in England" these are double or triple the price of the standard boots but they are also sold all over the world. You do not need to come to London or order from London for good quality. The quality of items here in London is just as terrible and poor as the rest of the rest of the world.
