Everyday London photographs taken off the beaten track

Kilburn High Road

with 6 comments

Kilburn High Road is full of el cheapo discount shops, street stalls selling junk, Argos shoppers (hey, I’ve got the catalogue!), families with screaming kids and gridlock. Some people really hate it; to me it’s a necessity when looking for staple goods and cheap household items, although I don’t spend too much time loitering around it. The Sainsbury’s is horrible though. You can’t find any tofu there whatsoever! Here’s a shop on the main drag selling grey market goods — I have to say I’ve even bought a few things from here, namely the Dove Cream Bath (two pounds here, 3.49 at Waitrose).
