Through my adventures in seeking the most amazing outlet shops ever, I heard about Braintree…read moreFreeport. Technically, it is the closest outlet shop to me (1 hr by train away) however, it is so far away from the greater London area, I had to buy another ticket to get to it. My boyfriend kept asking me if the bargains justify the train fare. In the end I only bought one dress, thus I felt it was not worth it. I'm sure visiting Braintree in the summer would be a better idea than trekking out there in search of discounts right after Christmas. Compared to London Designer Outlet (Wembly), which has newer and cleaner facilities, Braintree Freeport is more spread out and less bargains. I may give it a second chance in the summer when the weather is nicer. Not braving this outdoor outlet in the winter times.
