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.

I spent Sunday looking for an Indian outfit for a wedding. Having had bad experiences that day in 3…read moreother stores on Ealing Road, I stepped into KrishnaSarees and was greeted very quickly. To my relief I was offered help right away (I'm lost in these Indian clothes stores without any help!). I told the lady what I was looking for and she took me straight to their collection. I liked how the outfits are all hung up quite high so you can really see the full dress. In some of the other shops on Ealing road, they're all folded and packed away in plastic packaging and a shop worker needs to get them out for you to see...of all the shelves stacked full of folded outfits, you can't really know which you want them to show you since all you can see is the colour. So I was quite pleased with Krishna Sarees' set up, it helped me find something I liked quite quickly, bought the first thing I tried on. They recommend a local tailor to carry out any alterations you may need (90% of indian outfits will need to be altered to fit!). All the staff I spoke to were extremely helpful and not at all pushy like a lot of the other shops on Ealing Road. They have a website too which again, makes it better than other stores in Wembley (yes Indian clothes shopping has not yet universally caught up with modern times). They have a wide range of styles and prices too, allowing you to find something that suits your budget. I'd recommend this shop be your first stop if you're shopping in Wembley since it may be the only one you need to visit.

From the owner: At Variety Silk House we are passionate about creating the perfect outfit for our customers…read more Established in Nairobi, Kenya in 1958, the company was built from up from the ground, providing customers with a fine selection of sarees and fabrics. In 1972, the family moved to London to Ealing Road, opening a small saree shop to become one of the first in the area. Since then business has grown rapidly as we have established a large and loyal customer base, some of whom have remained with us since our early days in Nairobi. We are now established as one of the oldest, largest and most trusted Indian clothing retailers in London, all the while remaining in the same family.

Although it wasn't the biggest shop in the world it had good-sized, clean changing rooms and a great variety of clothes. Rangeing from smart well-cut blazers and pencil skirts for work and flashy, sequinned tops and dresses for a night out to accessories, smart/casual jumpers and some extremely cute hoodies. I bought a white one with mutli-coloured stripes and diamante detail for £16.99 but I was even happier when I was told by t e cashier that I was eligible for a 10% student discount if I had my student card with me! :) My only criticism would be that some of the clothes looked a tad cheap and the price range is slightly above average but this shop is definately great for teenagers and young people who follow fashion.

So when the Chimes came along, rather than fighting the much more modern looking competitor it just slumped into defeat and now is a bit of a sad shadow of its former self. It retains some of the old stores from its hey day, but for the most part, the bigger stores are in the Chimes. But I still like it, it was important to my childhood but the days of going to the back corner for Zodiac Toys to see what Thundercats they had in is long gone. These days of goths started hanging out the front I don't think they would bother to pull out the newly installed raises flower beds so that they'd have to move on as there wouldn't be anything to lean against. These days they'd just be welcomed.

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.

I am not local (American) but I have lived in London as a young poor 20 something. Primark was a Godsend for me. It's also really interesting now that they have expanded into the states (although not where I live) to come back and see how it has changed. When I lived here and had no money this was my go to for anything trendy, or needed. When I moved back to America quite unexpectedly I went there to stock up on inexpensive suitcases to pack up my life and carry back across the world. Any fast fashion or trendy items, this was my go to. Needed something for my home that didn't need to be high quality, Primark. I got a job at AllSaints a few blocks away and we were supposed to wear their clothes exclusively, but we only got a 60% discount (that's a big discount but still not inexpensive for a college kid) so I got a lot of my work shoes here and they never noticed. Now that I visit as a tourist, it's my go to for things like I need an umbrella that I can leave behind when I go home, or it's raining and I didn't bring my raincoat with me today...or it's colder than what I planned for on this trip so let me stop by and grab a few pieces of layering clothes or a coat. The Disney selection makes me wonder why there isn't a Primark in Orlando (because they get very unique Disney licensed items). If you don't have a big budget or are in need of souvenirs, I also recommend Primark. But if you're looking for a luxury experience, this isn't for you. If you're anti fast fashion, please just skip this. It's busy and loud and sort of a cattle call at the till, but it's great novelty spot. The layout has shed over the years bit it's still a great spot for cheep gifts, replacing broken or lost items and getting an unexpected suitcase for any souvenirs if you are a tourist (my favorite suitcase going on 11 years was £25 from here & yes we got another this most recent trip) 3 stars because I've definitely had some weird experience here over the years but generally if you go in knowing what it is and what to expect, it won't disappoint you.
