Thurloes Beauty Parlour - Kensington

Friday, 15 October 2010


On a recent walk around Kensington, we took in locations from Roman Polanski's "Repulsion". The hairdressers where the character Carol works at is actually Thurloes Beauty Parlour. It is now frequented by Margaret Thatcher who turns up in a limo every couple of weeks for her world famous haircut... A true palimpsest of film location.
