HOT: TK Maxx, 26-40 Kensington High Street W8 4PF

TK Maxx was my favourite lunchtime haunt when I worked in Slough, the home of discount shopping, and it is one of the few things I miss about my old job. So I was quite excited to find out that they'd opened a new store on Kensington High Street as a girl just can't stop shopping, even in these credit crunch times. A quick scan before my hairdressing appointment yielded three sets of Pleasure State underwear, Italian hosiery, designer handwash - and not the items I'd planned on at all. Oh well, guess it's time to make another trip!
