TK Maxx

The best TK Maxx in London! Well organised and well stocked. Always something new to discover at mazing prices that cannot be beaten!

Although located on Kensington High Street and looking all bright and glass-​fronted and shiny, this isn’t one of the better TK Maxx locations in London.
The main floor has a plethora of handbags — one of the larger sections in local branches — but otherwise it’s just overly crammed and not well laid-​out. Also, this location is only clothing. No homewares, etc.
For a better TKM experience, try Hammersmith or Clapham Junction.

TK Maxx (also know as TJ Maxx) was a surprise when I came across it for the first time some years back. It just doesn’t look nice. However hard staff is trying to keep it tidy, the whole nature of it is the «rummaging through it all to find the bargain» concept. And some of the items are amazing. If only one wouldn’t need to go through so much bad stuff beforehand.
To be honest this one is in a very neat condition. I guess it has to do with being in South Kensington and trying to appeal to a higher end market. Nice stuff for a nice price. They have a Gold Label section in the basement, which offers high end designer ware with a massive price reduction. I’m still not able to afford it, but at least I can have a feel. I know … creepy. Its also a very decent size with three floors, and if you cannot find anything to buy in this store … than I’m sorry. But it wasn’t your time to buy anything. Try again tomorrow, when they had a new delivery.

I love to go TK Max whereever it is, but in the Kensington one is the my favroite, I can find everything I like and much more cheaper than original price!!!

TKMaxx is a terrific place to browse when you have lots of time on your hands. When the speed of life has taken a backward step because it just so happens to be yet ANOTHER Bank holiday or maybe even a whole swag of holidays accumulating all at once and Summer is just around the corner and us WOMEN realise we just have absolutely NOTHING to wear.
There can be hidden treasures to this store, especially if they are having a ‘clearance sale’ which often is ALL the time, but I mean a Big Splashy job with lots of rails of clothing stacked out into the open for people to fight over. A tad messy perhaps, but it gives you that ‘jumble sale’ feeling which can be quintessentially, blissful. Certainly takes you back to your youthful Karma. There, you can get a real bargain and if you are petite like me, then you can be doubly lucky, because these days — BIG apparently is BEAUTIFUL — so, the smaller sizes are the ones that are left for you to luxuriate over.
The thing I do find quite ironically amusing in any of these stores however, is while we all can be a little naïve at times, I think the TKMaxx management team really think that we may have grown up way behind the cabbage patch out in Poo Bear’s garden somewhere because on all of their items, they always have a sales price with what the garment should be sold for. This is particularly the case on items of clothing. In some instances, the original price is so absurd it would have to be made of gold and at TODAY’S exorbitant prices. IE: (as noted recently) Woman’s jacket £380.00 now selling at a shocking reduction of £80 — and you say to yourself — I don’t think it is even worth £40 let alone £80.
So a giant word of caution — while you are manhandling the blonde bombshell who locked eyes on the red little number you also eye balled when you first walked in that front door — don’t fall into the trap of thinking you are getting a bigger bargain than you are by believing in the old price hike ‘sales ploy.’ Not to say that there are no bargains here, cause there are, especially as John Lewis or Harvey Nichols can often have similar ‘labelled’ items for more inflated prices. But, just swallow in your surroundings and use your own heightened judgement, and try not to be swayed by the before and now price disparity. Because, believe you me, it was never going to be sold for that amount, unless of course, you happened to be Cheryl Cole and I somehow doubt she’d POP in to TK’s…but I could be wrong!

huge selection of clothes but rarely all sizes you need.
price is — ok-​, quality as well.

A good branch of T K Maxx, right in High Street Kensington.
Typically, T K Maxx is quite untidy and disorganised, however this branch is much more organised than the average store, and you can find really great bargains. However, although it is tidier, you will still have to invest quite some time to look through the rails, so get ready to browse :)

This place has some serious bargains so you can get yourself a great deal if you have the time to browse the vastly untidy rails. it can be especially bad during the sales when there are clothes flung everywhere all over the floor but you can find some very cheap designer items. staff generally are not helpful if you are trying to find something.

Not the best of the many TK Maxx branches in terms of size and selection, but still a fun place to pop in and have a browse.
This particular store has a pretty decent section of discounted designer knickers — even in the smaller sizes (which is primarily what I come to TK Maxx for anyway). But I was über disappointed by their skimpy array of shampoos the last time I was in — mainly just Tigi, all in huge salon-​sized bottles. Versace lipstick though — for like, £6… With TK Maxx it’s really all about the give and take…

This shop was opened several month ago. It had three floors. Famous for the discount quality clothes and shoes, also offer other products. You could some really nice bargain here, but you need to spend time with it. The return policy was only 14 days now, so made choices was very important. The staff here usually couldn’t help you a lot. Really nice place to try after visiting the posh, expensive place on high street kensington.

By far the glitziest branch of the discount designer-​wear chain I have visited. The layout is brighter, fresher, less chaotic and more inviting than its sister branches. It feels far less like a discount outlet. There is even a staffed jewellery counter, located in an ‘island’ of its own.
If you’re on a tight budget and looking to rein in your spending, it might not be advisable to visit — as you’re likely to come-​out with far more than you intended. After just a brief foray, I found a wonderful handmade wide, black, elasticated Moroccan leather belt at £19.99 (instead of £45); some unusual, super-​cute Pepe camouflage low-​heeled ballet pumps at £16.99 (from £40) and a fab pair of diamanté Fossil sunglasses at £9.95 (from $ 60). I had to force myself to stop looking after that
A dampener was put on my happy shopper’s spirits when I discovered they were expecting me to pay for a flimsy carrier bag for my purchases. I was informed — snappily — by a manager, that it was due to a European Directive Hmmm!
