When reminiscing about what I used to like about London when I first moved here, the subject of Kensington Market came up. I used to go to a shop called Individual Fashions which sold lots of punk and other gear.


Did anyone else frequent this shop or remember it? or have other good memories of either Kensington Market or it's posh over the road sibling Hyper Hyper?


Just feeling old and hope someone else remembers these too.

I just had a quick google and found this rather interesting link.

    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
