Gert, I am very close to Peters of Kensington - I could walk there if I wanted to. It seems like every time I go past it's closed but I hope to make it there soon.
Beth - your guardian angels are looking out for you- keeping the doors closed on you!! When and if you go, make sure you leave cash, credit cards, chequebook etc. at home!! It's an absolute minefield!!
I try to even avoid it online!!!
Seriously though, it's an absolutely fabulous store - I'm sure you could do all your personal, birthday, Christmas - and whatever - shopping there - and usually at excellent bargain prices. Let's know how you go . . . . . . !!
