Formerly Derry & Toms
The current building at 99 Kensington High Street was the department store Derry & Toms (a company formed in the 1860s by Joseph Toms and Charles Derry). The store moved into this building in 1932; the Art Deco department store was designed by Scottish architect Bernard George with metalwork by Walter Gilbert (1871-1946).
Derry & Toms closed in 1971, taken over by Biba which opened there in 1973 only to close two years later. The building is still in use by Marks & Spencer amongst others.
