Recently I was on a mission to obtain two costumes from the musical Frozen and after much debate from within the office in getting them delivered by mail after the other stores did not give us confidence in their array and quality, I took the advice from a friend who recommended Mad World. I, head a department for a Company who entertains and arranges private and intimate events for people who travel to Great Britain when "The Season" begins and throughout the year, and on this occasion we had a particular VIP Family from abroad who were in London for a private family event. The couple in question has a young child who has just begun to love the musical Frozen and we needed to make an impression to welcome the family back to our shores with a WOW moment, as my two colleagues would act out the role of two characters from the musical with songs, due to the Family's social position. I first rang the store and spoke to the irresistible Manager Eleni and within moments I knew I was speaking to the right person. When I paid a visit to the store the team had both costumes ready for me to look at and when I knew these were the best costumes I could have asked for, Eleni then began to "put the costumes together" with those little extras that would create a memorable experience for the family and their audience. One pays for the costumes at a reasonable price and is allowed to keep them for a week and their costumes are simply amazing and One could actually get lost in this store. But what is really attractive about this store is the team. They totally get involved with one's vision and ideas. I could actually continue with this review but I fear it may take up too much of your time. This message is for everyone in London and England, "get yourself to Old Street and pay a visit to this store, you will not be disappointed". It's only a five minute walk from the tube station. To Eleni, Dot and Elexis, thank you for your amazing and dedicated time and effort and I shall see you again. Five stars +.

Hidden gem. Loads of fancy dresses to hire or buy. Plus the ability try them on. Never buy on internet. Come here instead.I've updated this comment because I do not believe in giving negative reviews because somebody had an off dayTo the American person who left in a two star review for this company, please you are spoilt for choice in the USA when it comes to Halloween costumes. This should not reflect on this company.A really think people should think twice before leaving 1 or 2 Star reviews on Google. These reviews make or break small businesses.

I really was not impressed by this place. I think it's because I'm American and I've observed since going that we simply do Halloween much better, which is why I didn't only give 1 star (I was told that this is the best costume shop in the country ?), but I was quite disappointed by the selection here. There's a massive selection of ready-made costumes in bags, but the selection of accessories, makeup, and mix-and-match items was abysmal in my opinion. This is genuinely the first time I've gone into a costume shop and not found a single thing I want. If you want to get an easy costume and are fine with looking kind of consumerist and basic, this place will almost certainly satisfy you, but if you're looking to DIY a unique costume with accessories and want inspiration and options, you will not find much here

Honestly, lovely people and really helped me out looking for some kit. Full of advice and ideas. Great range, wigs hats, glasses, outfits... Very glad I found it, down the stairs at the corner. Definitely going back when I need some fancy dress or party stuff.

Lovely staff members but didn't find many choices for Halloween costumes. They have a lot of old stock for buying but nothing particularly interesting for me.

? The Fairy Godmothers! ? Both were such a joy to meet and speak to. So helpful too (shout out to fabulous Dot!). This place has such a delightful vibe. Plenty of costumes, accessories and wigs, all in a fun atmosphere. I can't recommend enough!

Spectacular. Couldn?t believe the value for money for a fully loaded and high quality Louis XIV style get up with all the bells and whistles. Plus, some of the best customer service I?ve received in my life - Vanessa couldn?t have done more to make my outfit pop and ensure I had everything I needed to nail it. Thanks Mad World
