Wanstead shopping update, 4.11.11; Au revoir Knock Down Ginger

It’s farewell of a sorts to children’s clothes shop and hairdresser Knock Down Ginger which, just short of its third birthday, is going online only. It’s a shame for the Snaresbrook end of the high street, but owner Rina is offering 50% off shoes this weekend and is definitely still in business and in contact through Twitter and Facebook.

Wanstead shops update: New image

A regular update on what’s going on on Wanstead High Street:
• Welcome to the new picture framing shop on Wanstead High Street, Images in Frames, which is a branch of a framers on Wood Street in Walthamstow. Customers of that shop report excellent service including advice from the staff and reasonable pricing, which has to be good news.

• The newly refurbished Bar Room Bar – green now rather than grey – has successfully changed its appearance. The regular Wanstead Comedy Club returns there next week (details here).
• Great efforts from Oxfam shop on pumpkins.

Lovely scary display in Oxfam on Wanstead High street ! http://t.co/U0PeDLsa
