From Pandemic Pivot to Passion Project: The London Borough Story

Our journey began, like many, during the unpredictable times of the pandemic. It all started with a single toy store, a small venture that quickly taught us the ropes of retail. It was during this period that the idea for Derek (DRK), our very own clothing brand, was born. We poured our hearts into creating something unique, building a brand from the ground up.

However, after about two intense years, a tough decision loomed: continue with DRK or sustain the toy store. As you know, we chose to follow our passion for fashion, dedicating ourselves entirely to DRK.

Then, in 2024, an exciting new chapter began with the launch of the London Borough project. All those years in business, from the toy store to growing DRK, taught us invaluable lessons: the critical importance of quality, reliable delivery times, and putting a friendly face to our brand. We learned that truly connecting with our customers is paramount.

Today, our specialization shines in a diverse range of gadgets, bringing you the latest innovations, with a particular focus on summer gadgets and exciting RC (remote control) items. Beyond our core DRK offerings, with whom we maintain a strong and valued partnership, we're proud to foster exciting collaborations with Business Blog Wharf (BBW) and Drop London, further enriching our community and product selection. And, apart from all this, we're thrilled to also offer our own funny clothing section, adding a touch of humor and unique style to your wardrobe.
