  1. Ah, Child World, so many memories.

    Ours was at White City Plaza across the road from the cinema where I saw Star Wars for the first time.

  3. I really love your blog and have said so out loud over on my own blog by giving you a big giant plug (for what it's worth since no one seems to be reading my blog lately.)

    Anyhoo... thanks for always making me smile.

  4. Thank you! I miss Child World. Ours is a Marden's now, and they revamped the plaza a few years ago, and destroyed the ramparts.
