New Florist for Kings Road
Posted on November 26, 2010 by thekingsroad
A florist will always make a nice addition to any road. Remember the song ‘If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair…’ Peace and Love baby yeah! Better than bombs and torture eh? So the next time you’re in the dog house with the missus, you know what to do. Get yourself down to 40 Kings Road and buy her some flowers. Always does the trick!

What do Kings Road and The White House have in common?
Posted on July 22, 2010 by thekingsroad
Back in January I posted a piece about the renowned local street artist Ben Eine painting shop shutters in Kings Road (scroll down to read it). Well it turns out that David Cameron’s wife has given one of Ben’s ‘Alphabet’ prints to none other than the president of the United States – Barack Obama. Something tells me those shops he painted could now be worth quite a lot more. Go Eine!

Jempsons
Posted on June 11, 2010 by thekingsroad
Its like buses at the moment , you wait forever and three come at once ! More great news this week – Jempsons has finally opened its doors for business. Just when we were beginning to think they would never open. Nevermind, its been worth the wait as the place is fantastic. You can buy all manner of bread, cakes, pastries, donuts, fresh coffee etc in genuinely classy surroundings. This place is clearly going to have a very positive effect on Kings Road as a whole. Great news and I wish them the best of luck.

SOM gets the EINE treatment
Posted on January 25, 2010 by thekingsroad
World renowned street artist EINE (think Banksy + alphabet) has painted the shutters of SOM in Kings Road with a big S. The idea is that he paints different letters of the alphabet on various shop shutters. He’s done a few around Robinson Street in Hastings town centre. Next time you walk or drive past after hours, check it out. It’s different. http://www.einesigns.co.uk/gallery.php?state=thumbs&gallery_id=7

Jempsons coming to Kings Road
Posted on December 10, 2009 by thekingsroad
I am delighted to report that Jempsons are opening a new bakery at the old Wilsons premises. This is truly fantastic news for Kings Road, as I genuinely believe it will have a hugely positive long term effect on this much neglected road. Well done Jempsons for spotting a glorious opportunity. I suspect the perception of Kings Road will begin changing in earnest next year. This is the best thing that could have happened here.
