I love this place so much! It has never let me down! Not when I needed a 60's dress, not when I…read moreneeded a SuperMario-Outfit and no other time either! This Store just has everything you could think of in terms of costumes and dressing up. When you come in you find Accessories and all different interesting things, downstairs are the masks, 1st floor male costumes and 2nd floor girls costumes. They don't have changing rooms but it is basically a maze in there and you can hide somewhere behind the boxes to get changed. There is a good price range for the different themes and I am sure everyone can find something suitable in there. The staff is very friendly and helpful! This time I bought some lashes and they gave me some extra glue for free without me asking for it! Very nice gesture! Whenever the next costume party will be, I'll come back here to get ready!

Therr are a full FOUR floors of costumes, props, decorations, masks, wigs, make up, prosthetics, everything and anything you may need for your fancy dress party or cosplay! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The shop isn't the most well-organised shop in the world, so you may well need to ask or just spend a few hours browsing.

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.

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.

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.

It's like a dream world of wonderfulness. Now I don't think this is a fancy dress shop, but they do sell a lot of fancy dress. I just think that the people who work here and their regular shoppers think it's quite normal to walk around London wearing cat ears. I popped in to grab some bits for halloween and for £20 walked away with a bag of goodies that will ensure I'm all fright on the night! It's not cheap, but I've seen pricer. Although their staff are super duper helpful and I was in and out in under five minutes with everything I needed. Yay for Ad Hoc.

Crazy Clothes…read moreConnection is one of the few remnants of the Old Notting Hill which hasn't been pushed out by the ever-increasing rents. So, what's the secret? Even just walking past the shop and looking in the window on my way to work in the morning is fun - this must be the largest collection of utterly unwearable shoes in London. It gets even more fun when the awnings are down and the space below filled with rows and rows of weird and wonderful stuff. At long last, I had a reason to enter the secret den. I was in no doubt that this is where we would find our outfits for a fancy dress party. And so we did. But we also found a lot more. It is a real experience to meet Dereck who generously shares his view of the world and his experiences - at 82 he has quite a few stories to tell. It is he who is responsible for the old time jazz filling the street on a sunny afternoon, his record player positioned between the clothes rails on the pavement. His daughter Esther knows her stuff and soon found us just what we needed. Crazy Clothes aren't cheap-cheap, but all their stuff is of great quality and doesn't have the musty smell you encounter in many second hand stores. But it's the people who make this a real experience - don't go if you're in a hurry as you'll be missing out.
