Can you toss in a name Ruala? That would help to search Directories or even censuses.

There are nearly 50 tailors listed in Camberwell in 1861 so as Waitabit says we'll have to have something more to narrow the search down a bit.

...and it looks like there were at least 300 in 1881!

Don't forget the fact that he may have worked on the opposite side of the river (Thames), well known for tailoring.
I believe there is a Guild of Merchant Tailors and I think the records are still at Threadneedle Street where they are based, try google. (Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors/Tailors)

Hello Ruala
There's some interesting stuff on tailors in Victorian London on the web
Go to victorianlondon.org (put www.in front). In the list on the left hand side, click on ‘Professions & Trades’. In the new list, click on ‘Clothing’.
Run your eye down this new list and you’ll see ‘tailors (1) (2) (3)’. Click on the numbers in the brackets and you’ll see 3 interesting articles about ‘ordinary’ tailoring in Victorian London.
Hope this helps.
