Wouldn't humanity be much more interesting if we dressed up as alter-egos everyday, shielding our true identities from strangers, gallivanting around as heroes or truly heinous villains? I vote for 365 days of Halloween. Anyway, back to the shop. The main floor has an array of really cool randomness. Ashtrays, prints of Marilyn Monroe, games, keychains, tapestries, candles, incense, buttons, mugs; you name it they claim it. When I need to get a gift for someone I come here to buy it. Finding something cool here is guaranteed.

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.

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 pass this shop everyday on my way home full of colour, full of balloons and really cramped. I finally ventured into the shop for Halloween decorations and a fancy dress.

Furthermore, they have a wholesale store in Acton which I can only imagine must look like a psychedelic dream. And if you are wondering about my fancy dress, I wore a hockey mask, spooky nails and a pink robe. I don't know exactly who I was but I can tell you exactly how much it cost £7.

Come on, we want at least a bit of class, even when dressed as an animal. This place is so over priced and ridiculous. Who seriously spends £94 AT LEAST to hire a costume. Who cares so much about a fancy dress party. I just don't get. If it wasn't in the name of theatre, I would never have stepped into this place. It smells wierd, you know that wierd musty costume smell, but the store is disguised as some sort of up market place, with about 6 floors of tack, for stupid people who care too much about how they appear to other people. Perfect place to get some angel wings for your god awful hen night. The assistants were quite rude aswell, dealing with me as if I was asking for an animal costume in a bakery. not a costume shop.
