    A very big thank you goes out to the Escapade staff for putting up with three very excitable…read moreyelpers looking for fancy dress outfits for over two hours. They couldn't of been more accommodating and enthusiastic. The sheer magnitude of outfits they have to offer and the fantastic computerised system we used to find things like the Danger Mouse outfit and Ninja turtle suits was just awesome. This has to be the best fancy dress shop in London. They covered almost every fancy dress eventuality we could think of.

    I walked past Escapade and the displays in the window simply beckoned me in. Escapade are serious…read moreabout costumes and their wide range of stock proves it. Available is a wide range of characters from TV and film such as The Simpsons, Rocky Horror and Flintstones which in many cases include an outfit and a rubber mask to fully immerse yourself into a character. A lot of these costumes will attract serious attention at parties. Accessories such as wigs, make up and other basics are available at the front of the shop too for those who don't wish to get too dressed up or who just want to add a few finishing touches to their costume. The shop is spacious and easy to browse your way through with the stock all displayed clearly with lots of sections to explore. The staff are very helpful and seem to enjoy their work which adds a fun atmosphere to the place. The prices are also reasonable and not out of the price range of most people. If you don't wish to buy then a hire option is available. If you have a party coming up, it is well worth visiting Escapade before you buy a costume to get ideas and inspiration.

    The best costume shop I have ever seen! Anything you could ever want in terms of costumes or party…read moreequipment is available under one roof, it is like Toys R Us but for slightly more grown up people. This place is like an aladdin's cave of the ridiculous. My friends were holding a pirate party and I happened to find this place at the last minute. There was a whole aisle just for pirate gear. I was in heaven. The staff were really helpful, I guess it has to be a pretty fun place to work, but even so, they were perfectly willing to indulge any degree of craziness, which was a good job in my case. Even if you don't live in the area, if you have a fancy dress party to attend, it is well worth the trip.

    You can hire or buy outfits. So so so much to choose from. Male or female, child or adult, you will…read morefind something. The difficulty is choosing which one! From Betty Boo to pirate wench, you name it, they've got it. They also provide party decorations for the whole shebang, or maybe just a plastic sword and pirate hat, what ever you want. Their window displays give great inspiration as well, the last one I saw was for a beach party so had lots of inflatable plamtrees and grass skirts! At hallowe'en they don't just go for the easy option, last hallowe'en they had a Beetlejuice inspired display. Geniuses. Pop in if not just to kill time before your train. Such a fun shop.

    I purchased a product from this business and found out within 24 hours, I contacted customer…read moreservice about it wanting to cancel my order and was informed I couldn't as it had already shipped. Then, 2 days later I get an email telling me my package was processed and will ship shortly. So I was misinformed. Wrote to costumer service to explain and even after 3 emails I had no response or reach out. Very frustrated! Asked to verify return process and nothing. Really irritated by the blatantly wrong and misleading information.

    I visited Mad World first thing on a Monday morning on the hunt for an astronaut costume. In fact,…read moreI had been on the hunt for the astronaut costume since the Friday before and luckily this was the one shop that had one in stock. Astronauts must be in demand. The staff were extremely helpful on the phone and on walking in, despite my practically jumping on the lady who worked there as soon as she arrived to make sure I got the costume, she wasn't at all irritated and very friendly. I had a mooch around the shop which I have to admit made a light start to a gloomy Monday morning - they have all sorts of fun costumes and accessories including some huge and gorgeous 'Bling Rings for £2 which I actually contemplated buying for real use. The outfit cost £60 hire for the week which is very competitive in comparison to other London fancy dress shops. The costume was a bit more...colourful (lots of sequins on the boots) than probably what Neil Armstrong is used to but it did the job! The place is a little tricky to find and almost like a warehouse when you get inside. Definitely one to try for your next fancy dress (or astronaut) party.
