Bus Stop

Bus Stop is one of the more famous British Boutiques.

Owner, Lee Bender along with her husband Cecil opened the store originally as a manufacturing business in 1968. In 1969 they relocated beside Biba on Kensington Church St. as "Bus Stop."

Lee Bender stated - "We chose the name 'Bus Stop' because it was so identifiably British; and red because it was the colour of telephone kiosks, pillar boxes, and London buses."

The boutique gained a lot of popularity and eventually opened 12 different stores throughout Britain.

Bus Stop had more of a 40's look compared to the 30's look that a lot of the other boutiques of the time were carrying.
