Hi everyone!
Many years ago, I was walking and saw a shop with huge feet sticking out from the first floor! I seem to remember the legs and feet had boots on? Maybe...
I would like to find a photo of that store!! If anyone knows where it is and it's name, please can you reply so I can get a photo!

Hi nicv27!
I remember seeing it whilst going to the Burberry Factory Outlet!
Can't remember where the big feet shop was!

Sorry mate, Londoner born and bred but don't know of the shop! I do know where you mean, know the area but not the big feet! Have you given the good old street view a try along your route at all?
I'm intrigued now.

Hi Caspa,
thanks for your reply! I tried the street view but no success! I know there was a parade of shops, with this unusual shop, but I know such parades exist on every high street.
I also tried a Google search ' London shop, big protruding feet, second floor' but no luck there...

Hi.. I used to work around there 20 years ago so I know the area a little but nothing springs to mind..... Had a look on Street view also but nothing.
Do you use Twitter? try asking on there... Good Luck

Was it the Dr Marten shop Brick Lane ???
Or was that a pair of boot above the shop ???

Hi! I use Twitter but not so effectively!
I don't think it was the Doc Martens shop.
These were two long legs with feet sticking out of the first floor. I guess the shoes were 12 feet tall...
Maybe that shop has long gone.....
I'll find another big feet picture!
thanks for posting !!!

Its like the last picture that you posted Steve, but the other way up, much bigger, and sticking out of the first floor!
But that one is great!
If you spot any more, I'd be happy to see them!!!
I am now practicing my wedding speech which will be delivered.. in Japanese
Thanks again!

solved where this building was...
It was the Hackney Empire, 291 Mare Street Hackney, London E8 1EJ...
and it had the large legs and boots sticking out because 'Jack and the Beanstalk' was playing.
My friend in Japan had all copies of photos so he sent me 4 cd's to check!
I'll use some photo's in my wedding speech!
