I know, I KNOW, it's The Gap. But I want to write a review due to the lovely sales staff here…read more On a recent visit I was looking for new jeans. They were on sale. Hoorah! However, I'm a girl on the higher end of their size range and finding pairs of jeans in my size in some jean styles isn't always easy. I tried on a pair in a color I didn't like just to see that they hadn't changed the styles again (they keep doing that), and then asked the sales guy if it would be possible to find me a pair in a dark rinse (as there were none on the sales floor). While I'm well aware that any good retail employee *should* always do their best to satisfy the customer, this is very often not the case. Especially in London. And asking for a size on the larger end of the scale in Kensington has, in the past, been met with really rude words. It took him a trip to the 3rd floor stock room and a 10 minute search, but the super kind salesman returned victoriously with the ONE pair they had upstairs left in my size. And he was still smiling. You just don't get kind service like that everywhere. Especially in chains. And especially in Kensington.

High Street Kensington is local to me, and Gap is the store that I frequent the most. It's a large…read moreflagship store with three floors - as you enter you'll walk past a selection of womenswear, the lower ground floor is split into childrenswear/lingerie and then the upper floor is menswear. Granted the clothing isn't exciting, but I find Gap great for basics (jumpers, denim, vests, shirts, casual wear) and they cater for smaller sized women like myself (size 6). The quality is always perfect, and you definitely get value for money. I just wish that they'd have a greater selection of colours like pink and blue rather than black, grey and red!

A very sweet store. Not the best selection of things, but they do have a little bit of everything…read more And the staff is very friendly. They will even measure you for your new nursing bras! Hurray!

This used to be a store that I would avoid at any cost. Not because it's cheap with cheap quality…read moregoods, but father it was a mess, and the queue was always so long. If I saw something I wanted to buy, I would pick it, look at the queue, put it back down and walk out. If I really wanted something, I would come back at a later date, but make sure that I arrived and got served before the hoard of shoppers arrived. I have to say, since the opening of the two huge Primark stores on Oxford Street, things in this particular branch have inproved enormously. The display no longer a thrift shop appearance of jumbles clothes. Also the queues are not as bad as they used be. I think the die hard Primark shoppers would rather make the trek to Oxford Street, where the chioce of goods is that much greater. For any American visitors coming to London wondering what kind of store Primark is, think an even cheaper version of Old Navy for clothes and Walmart of bedding and household accessories. The reason this store only gets three stars is due to the size of the store means that the selection is limited and does not cover the full range of Primark goods.

I came here probably much like everyone else, hoping they could find some PRIMARK goodies without…read moremaking a trip to the 24-7 INSANE Oxford Circus location. But, after my visit to the Kilburn location I learned that each store is very (VERY) different than the next. Crap is EVERYWHERE. I seriously didn't even see anyone working there picking things up. I know Oxford Circus is the huge, flagship store, but they always have about 50 workers scrambling around the tourists trying to fix up the shop in order. Any retail business should care as least a little bit if their merchandise is all on the floor. It shouldn't matter if it's only 1 quid either. Not only is this location a complete and utter disaster, but the merchandise isn't even any good. Yes, the store is smaller, but I found what is in store not to be really any worth buying. Suck it up, wake up at 9 and go to the Oxford Circus location. TRUST ME.
