Picture framing is becoming an expensive luxury these days with many of us avoiding it completely in place of pre-framed prints sold at the bigger shops. 
Sometimes though, we do still need an original framing job, as for example when we want to frame a favourite photograph, or a childish sketch to keep as a memory. I doubt very much that you would need to go all the way to find a Carpenter in London though, because in principle the task is extremely simple.
Place the picture on a backing board. Obtain a suitable wooden profile, making sure it has been routed to receive a sheet of glass if this is needed. Cut the wooden profile using a mitre box, and glue the whole lot together, perhaps using staples or even biscuits to reinforce the job. No need to Find a Joiner on Mr-Skill.
The next step is to paint the frame in a colour if desired, perhaps picking out the moulded highlights to create an interesting effect. If the profile you choose is plain, then here are some unusual ideas to add some fun:
o Cover the frame with textured cloth such as hessian or burlap, or mix some fine gravel into paint, and apply this to create a different effect
o Collect a few seashells on the beach and stick these on, or make up some brightly coloured paper butterflies
o Visit the hobby shop and pick out some attractive beads and ribbons, and let your imagination run absolutely free.
