Kensington Market, London

From the 1980s to the end of the 1990s, it catered to punks, new romantics, metal heads, ravers, and goths, as well as other sub-cultures of contemporary music, fashion, hair stylists, body arts, and crafts and accessories.

In 1969, before the band Queen had formed, Roger Taylor ran a stall at the market, also enlisting Freddie Mercury to work on it.

[1][2] In a 2006 interview, Lemmy, the founder of Motörhead, stated he sold dope at the market during the 1960's.

[3] Hyper Hyper was a unit that provided stall space for many new designers, including Fiona Cartledge (Sign of the Times),[4][5][6][7] Pam Hogg,[8] Rachel Auburn and Leigh Bowery,[9] before moving to its own premises across the road in October 1996.

[11] The building was left derelict following its closure, and was demolished in 2001.
