Sarova Stanley’s Thorn Tree sidewalk café was operational even when Hardinge Street was renamed Kimathi Street in the 1960s in honour of the Mau Mau field marshal who was captured and killed by colonialists in 1957.

Along the street near the Hilton Hotel was a bus station, and a cinema hall occupied the space where IPS Building currently stands. Horse Shoe Coffee Bar stood opposite present day Nation Centre.
