There’s a DJ playing funky tunes, colourful ice-creams and even more colourful outfits from animal print coats to a sequined jumpsuit at the latest opening in north London’s Brent Cross shopping centre.
The former Topshop store, empty since the chain closed down two years ago, has been filled not with another fast-fashion name but with secondhand fashions being sold to raise money for charities including Shelter, Barnardo’s, Cancer Research UK, Emmaus and Traid.
