Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Further West there is also Kensington High Street, which also has EB, SnR plus a Columbia store and one or two others all within the same 50m stretch. Exit the tube station, turn right and cross the road.

Yes but if Hestra is important, head for Ski 47. Of the others, Snow & Rock Covent Garden the best. And Ski 47 also good for Norrona.

No connection, just local and I love, I mean love, to shop ski kit!!!

LIDL and ALDI all over London. Their stuff is okay, worth it for socks and other accessories if you dan't like cheap jackets.

LIDL snowboots were pretty good for the price.

halfhand, Hyst, for High Street Kensington you need to turn left out if the station, not right! Otherwise they'll end up at the Royal Albert Hall looking for ski gear!

I was in there on Wed. They had plenty of jackets, didn't see any trousers, some gloves but not a huge selection. It's a few mins walk from the office so I pop in there every now and then to see if there is anything decent.

halfhand, Woman come to me Toofy Grin , I am the only man in that car. Sad 3 ladies and me!

PS.: But good idea, may be I should pick my sister up on the way in Chorley Wood. May have to leave a bit earlier. wink

But try to have 4 females and their luggage in the car, would be a nightmare. Laughing

There are two TkMaxx's around the Gracechurch/Bishopsgate area. One is on Gracechurch street between Monument station and Leadenhall market. The other is opposite the Gherkin (don't know the name of the road, but it is the one parallel to Bishopsgate).

Both TkMaxx's have ski gear in (jackets, salopettes, gloves, etc), I checked earlier this week... however they don't have any men's Orange Salopettes in a Large!! Sad
