The Designer Warehouse is one of my favourite London discoveries…read more Not far from my home, and just off Seven Sisters road is a monthly sale for designer clothes - having heard from it from a colleague, I didn't really know what to expect. It was great and would definitely recommend giving it a visit. When getting to the warehouse, you have to leave your bag and coat (including your phone) in a cloakroom, and may a small fee of £3 (or 2?) to be able to get in. The sale is over 2 floors, and organised by designers - some are really well known, some are smaller names I've never heard of. It's not a posh environment, it's just rows and rows of clothes on hangers - and you have to take the time to go through them to find the gems, and also your size. There aren't any changing rooms, but there is an area where you can go and try them on at the back of the venue - it's closed off to men, but you do have to accept getting changed in front of other women. I am myself a massive fan of Vivienne Westood, and this was also the opportunity for me to try on a few pieces of her clothes - and yes, I did cave in and buy a top (1/3 of the original price) and a scarf. Good to know: they separate their sales between womanswear and menswear - their schedule is updated on their website.

Factory Outlet doesn't really seem like a factory outlet. Let me explain. I would think a factory…read moreoutlet would be really, really cheap and the clothes would be in dry cleaners type bags. Factory Outlet North Finchley is nothing like that. There are some good deals to be had, even a rack starting at just 5 pounds. I'll admit the clothes in this shop are taste-full and beautiful. There is a particularly nice brown ruffle dress in a silky material for 22 pounds and some lovely knits that wrap around your body. The staff here is friendly enough and not up your arse, in a way that is common in a small store. I like to come in here and have a poke around. I will note this store only sells clothing so no handbags or shoes on offer.

Uh, ok. After a day filled with shopping, my group wanted to stop at Top Shop. Apparently this is a…read moretop clothing shop in London, but really falls flat in regards to selection and quality. Even after an hour of browsing, I have come to the conclusion that this store has the quality of H&M or Forever 21 - just with higher prices and the occasional name brand. Items on sale were very odd looking and disorganized. Not exactly the place I'd like to buy anything, I tried.

Lots of makeup + pajamas, etc. I mean, they've got literally every and anything you'd be looking for to buy for every day or even clothes for occasions, at very affordable price.

Another good trip to this location. They have so many festive items, including; homeware, clothing…read moreand decorations. Great place for stocking stuffers and their bath bombs selection is one of the best! So many to choose from, including Disney and Christmas designs, all either £1 or £1.50!

It's very nice that their security at the front door and the staff is extremely accommodating, they are a little shorthanded so give yourself some time and some patience. I worked with MJ and she was absolutely fabulous. I am not a tiny person by any means and she took the time to grab me some additional sizes out of the back. They do have up to size 16. Just ask for a sales clerk to help you. MJ totally went above and beyond for me. I got boots, a trenchcoat, and I even bought my mom a really nice wrap over poncho. Some of the items are marked down 50% off and then they have additional tag sales that are 40 50 and 60% off the sticker price. One trenchcoat would normally cost $2600+ I got everything for under $1400. This place is totally legit if you can make it it's worth a trip. They have bags, accessories, men's, and women's stuff. They even have shoes and kids clothes. It's a massive store. Give yourself some time and give the staff some grace. I can see why people will rave about this place online. The deals are real.

I have been looking for an everyday purse for a while now. While I was in London, I scrolled thru…read moreYelp for shopping areas and I discovered that Burberry had an Outlet here! I found the perfect purse at a great price for a designer purse. This store has a great selection of purses, accessories, and clothes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The reason I am writing this review is let people know that the Wi-Fi is not the best in this area of town. I had to wait in the store to call Uber because as soon as I walked outside I lost coverage. Both drop off and pickup had to be done on the main street and not in front of the Burberry Outlet.

Popping up out of nowhere and landing on Bermondsey Street is this beautiful little clothes shop…read more It was a black chiffon and feather dress that stole my attention, and once inside I was by no means disappointed. The delicately feminine silk, knit and lace clothes are hung beautifully alongside a number of jewellery pieces and bags. My favourite touch however, are the handwritten price tags "one hundred and twenty five pounds", so simple but so unlike all other shops. As you can guess Pussy Willow is not cheap, but it is beautiful, as for the little dachshund curled up on a cushion, that is enough to make anyone's heart melt.

The reason for the whopping five stars is specifically for this store and one lovely lady in particular...a sales assistant named Vicky. I popped in yesterday in a panic as I have a wedding to attend on Saturday and haven't yet bought myself a dress. I was not in the mood for shopping and feeling very uninspired so just grabbed a few things and then vetoed them all. On my way out the changing room I bumped into the lovely Vicky who took the whole lot off me with an "Oh no, no, no, none of these are right for you!", asked what the occasion was, disappeared and reappeared quick as a flash with a dress that I didn't like AT ALL. SO not my style but she begged me to try it on and seemed so nice I obliged. OMG it was gorgeous! I wouldn't have picked it up in a thousand years yet once I had it on I adored it. Completely different to anything I've ever bought, very classic and elegant with a hint of '50s pin-up girl. She did me proud. Hold on, I hadn't looked at the price tag... "How much is this dress?" I asked, "£210" came the shocking reply! "But it's just gone into the sale and now it's £60" ...WHAT!!!!? Sold! Girls, if you're ever in this store and need some help ask for Vicky - she's a genius!

The owners Sparkle & Cad are very friendly and knowledgeable, and are always happy to help if you're looking for something special. Everything they sell is hand picked, so you know there aren't going to be rails of dubious looking stock like you find in so many vintage shops nowadays. If you're looking for authentic clothing and accessories then it doesn't get better than this: everything in here is a gem! Happily there's also something for every budget, as they have a discounted section upstairs. The main floor is pricier - but worth it.

Hats, shoes, dresses, amazing pieces from 1920's-1970's, especially their 1940's/1950's collections... late 1930's Garbo hat from Ninotchka, Marilyn dress, the most amazing 1950's earrings and gloves (and I've been collecting these for some years now and they have wonderful choice) all in perfect condition and one off's! I seriously wish that shop was my cupboard... Sparkle and Cad, the owners of the place are uber friendly and all you have to do is ask and they will tell you all about the designers, eras of the items...you'll really feel million dollars to wear a dress which was worn by a Hollywood starlet of a very famous movie sometime in 1956!!! Marilyn dress is pricey but a wonderful find for a collector.. there is something for everyone and you can certainly find a bargain (especially in Hell to Pay upstairs) too (also get your self on their mailing list and see when they have a sale or special deals!)..and another thing you'll never know who you might see in there (Kate Moss,Whoopee Goldberg,Immodesty Blaize,Duffy,Paloma Faith,Eva Green, Sharleen Spiteri, to name just a few!!).

It's not every department store that has a Masterpiece TV show made about it. That's just one of…read morethe things that makes Selfridges special. I visited Selfridges with my husband about two weeks ago, when we were visiting London for a few days. This store - their flagship - opened in 1909, and is the second-largest department store in the UK after Harrods. The store was founded by Harry Gordon Selfridge, who became the subject of an ITV/Masterpiece showed called "Mr Selfridge," in which Selfridge was played by Jeremy Piven. During the Second World War, Selfridges housed a huge SIGSALY scrambling machine in its basement, which allowed Winston Churchill to call President Roosevelt directly and securely about a mile away from the Cabinet War Rooms. You can see its history in the bones of the building. The store has definitely been updated (it's stunning), but you can see original touches from the 1909 building. But Selfridges is a modern luxury department store with the best brands. You can definitely spend some money at Selfridges. We were just exploring the store, since we were in the neighborhood, but it's an incredible store - for shopping, for having a glass of champagne at their bar, or for checking out their pretty wonderful art pieces around the store.

This is the flagship store for Selfridges and though I've been several times, I never get tired of…read morestopping in when I'm in London. Did you know the founder was American? The store has been around since the early 1900s and the only store in the UK that's bigger is of course, Harrods. Six floors of glorious shopping, eating, and tattooing. That's right, in addition to the high-end luxury clothing, shoes, and accessories on the retail side, there are restaurants, and a tattoo shop. Lots of other cool things to explore within Selfridges as well. I have found the service to be consistently friendly, helpful, and polite. Selfridges is an institution to seen by all whether for the first time or the 100th time.
