High Street Kensington, or High St Ken as it is known in London is Kensington's main shopping street, with a bit of something for everyone. It is a long street and the character changes as you move further away from the tube up and down the street. The old Barker's Arcade used to dominate at one end, and was a department store once upon a time, then it housed Marks and Spencers and a few other shops, a kind of mini shopping centre, now it has a huge Whole Foods market. Next door is a little indoor market called Kensington Market where you can buy the kinds of things teenagers love. Opposite, is a Top Shop and Urban Outfitters and big shoe emporiums.
