Bike fit recommendations in and around London

I've had my bike for several years but haven't changed a thing since I first bought it, both in terms of ride position or components like the saddle or stem.
For a 1 hour round trip commute, it's fine. But I've been putting in some longer (3-5 hours) weekend rides in the last year and have a lot of shoulder/arm aches, lower back aches, and saddle sores.
I know some of this stuff just comes with the territory of longer rides, but I thought a bike fit might be money well spent if it would result in a more enjoyable time in the saddle.
So where have you guys been fitted and what did you make of them? Who gave you a decent amount of time and attention, knew their stuff, and made sensible recommendations on what to change without trying to unload half their stockroom onto you.
Cheers!

Cyclefit did me some custom insoles which were very good, the fitter came across as someone who genuinely cared about my cycling as well as being very expert.0

I found condor pretty good. The guy in there knows his stuff and helped me with a problem I had0

I'm a fan of the team at Swift Cycles. I've also had a fit at Bespoke, but couldn't help feeling Swift cared a bit more.0

This answer is purely from a “marketing” point of view, but I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos with a James from Sigma Sport and if I were in London, I’d go to this chap. He has a holistic approach and a custom jig that does not rely on any particular fitting system.0
