About Diverse
Fashion is what you’re offered two times a year.
And style is what you choose. - Lauren Hutton
Retailing designer clothing, footwear and accessories in London since the mid-1980's, Diverse works with many of the top brands in the fashion industry.
After 28 happy years on Islington's Upper St, our new home is on Fortess Road, Tufnell Park, NW5. Please feel very welcome to visit Diverse in person. The store is welcoming and sunlit, and we're open most days of the year.

Diverse in our community
Fortess Road, Tufnell Park and NW5 in general are great places to live & work, and Diverse would like to help keep it that way. We engage with our neighbours, whether residents, businesses or schools and seek to play an active role in the local area.
We can't possibly mention every great restaurant, bar or local amenity but if you are visiting Diverse, please look out for the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker, eg the brilliant shops & places we have all around us: SK Vintage Clothing, Eeny Meeny Kids, Ruby Violet ice creams, Bear and Wolf, Future & Found Interiors, 90 Degrees framers, Jessica de Lotz the jeweller, Harrington Squires Print & Design, Down to Earth Yoga, the tranquil Rustique literary cafe, Beauty Box, the sewing machine repair shop which thankfully appears to be in rude health, and the best bakers (Spence) butchers (Meat NW5) florists (Violet & Frederick, kiosk outside the tube) fishmongers (Jonathan Norris) hardware store (Ideal) & greengrocers (Fam) you'll find on a single pavement anywhere.
Thanks for reading to the end :)
