Apologies if this is wildly inappropriate and I have done a search but can't find any other threads, so I hope I am not repeating an old subject. But I do just feel the need to say a word about Ken.


Ken had the barbers shop near the ironing place and the cycle shop just up from Goose Green.


My husband was in there today. It has been quite a while since Ken cut his hair so he asked the lady in the shop how Ken was - and, very sorrowfully, she told him that he had died.


This is a terribly sad because he was clearly not an old man and had, I believe, only recently retired.


We always took our little boy to Ken for his haircuts because he was so patient with him and somehow always managed to get him to sit still in the chair. And he did a lovely cut, even on a 4 year old! He always remembered our daughter, too, when it came to handing out the lollies.


As a family we are very sorry to hear of his passing and our sincere condolences go to his widow and family.

Are you referring to the Turkish gentleman who's shop was very close to Locale and next door to Rebecca's (Impress) Dry Cleaners?


If you are, apparently he had been suffering with cancer for some time now and had sold the business on because of this.


If so, he was an extremely nice person with whom I always had a laugh with each time I was in there.


This is very sad and my sympathies go to his family.

Not inappropriate at all Dorothy.


Thank you so much for letting us know,very sad indeed, Ken was a lovely man, very kind and friendly and a real gentleman.

He cut my husband and sons hair and always made us feel very welcome and loved the children.


We're very sorry to hear this, much love to his family.

    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
