SO AFRICAN FASHION ALSO TRIVES IN LONDON

Petticoat Lane in the heart of the UK's capital, London, has been the home of African fashion for over five decades. 

West Africans even travel to London for their cloth.

It is also a place where BBC Africa's Uwa Nnachi and Genevieve Sagno used to go as children with their parents to buy African cloth.

They went back as part of our fashion series to see if things have changed and whether it's still the place to get your favourite African dress.
