Primark is a very low cost clothing store that has stores all over England. The clothes are…read morefashionable and very cheap although do not expect them to last for more than a season. For t-shirts from £2 it is really cheap and an easy way to build variety into your wardrobe. There is a huge amount of variety and a quick turnover of styles and clothes. Nevertheless, you will find someone wearing clothes that look familiar in London! The Oxford Street store is enough to put you off shopping there for life the number of people who invade it daily is quite extraordinary and the queues for the tills snake their ways around the store. The Tooting store is heaven in comparison. Although far smaller, it has a very good selection of all their ranges. You can get through the queue in 5 minutes on most days. Even when it is busy it is not comparable to the Oxford Street version. Generally, it is a very pleasant experience and gives you access to the cheap deals without the anarchy!

I discovered this branch lately, it's not as big as the Oxford St one but much nicer as there are less people and the staff can handle the shop floor and avoid the usual mess you find in Oxford St. Will go again and again and again!

It can get exceptionally busy in this branch and the queues can be huge at the tills. When they have decent clothing for under £5 that I wouldn't mind wearing out occasionally, you can understand why the queues get so long. Alongside T.K Maxx, Primark is one of few reasons Lewisham is worth visiting.

Sometimes you'll be in luck and there will be that dress or top in size 8, but other times they'll be loads of styles you like but nothing in your size which can be frustrating. Nevertheless, for bargain underwear, socks, vests and tee's you can't really go wrong. You can easily walk out with a huge bag of shopping and not have paid more than £30. It can get particularly busy at the weekend, and sometimes you question whether it's worth queuing for those £2 socks..

It is mainly for ethical reasons, but aside from that, I don't feel like you get what you pay for. If there is one good thing I can say about Primark, it's the fact that you don't usually hand much money over the counter. The store in Hackney Central is nothing to write home about. It is busy, quite unorganised, and a bit bland. I don't have too much contact with these places, so maybe most of them are like that. Hackney Central has a lot of amazing second hand clothes on offer for a very similar, if not cheaper, price to Primark.

When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Go Shopping…read more So it's been one of those limbo days, that started on a massive high, but has actually ended up going nowhere fast. When things get challenging or just plain weird, the tough do what only the true hard nuts can do and that is....go shopping. My favourite cut price haven is Primark or Primarche as I like to call it. I'll admit I am addicted to the rails upon rails of cut price clothes and accessories, and don't get me started on their lingerie and swimwear, where I regularly unearth hidden treasures. Yes Primarche rocks, but you will need to know what the rules of engagement are for a relatively pain free visit, especially if you go to the Croydon store! 1) Pick your visiting time wisely - Too early and you'll miss new stock. Too late and you will get caught up in the mother of all queues. 2) The clothing sizes vary by alarming proportions - Alternating between coming up too small or too big, so make sure you try everything on. If they don't have your size, you can more than likely to be able to get away with the next size up. 3) Customer service - If you are a customer service freak, check your expectations at the door, Primark is like taking a walk on the wild side - do so at your own risk ! The general sales assistant tone varies between complete indifference to my personal favourite not knowing the stock e.g. harem pants have never and are unlikely to be "Sorta like leggings",as suggested by my hapless assistant. 4) Queuing is a way of life - I have never, ever walked into Primarche and not had to queue. Their customer base is about as diverse as it gets, due to their low prices.This popularity means the store is nearly always busy. If you are a serial sigher, or a whinger, take something along to distract you like an ipod, a friend, a magazine or a packet of Haribo ! 5) In light of points 1-4 why would you want to set foot in Primarche ? Simple fast, disposable fashion trends turned around in record time, for you to buy. Their clothes quality can be variable, but their bags and accessories are not to be sniffed at. That's why I keep going back !

Limited budget but love clothes, then Primark is the place to shop. Shopping here on the weekends…read morecan chaotic and down right frustrating. The best times I've found is mid week during the day. You won't find the best quality some things are made better than others. Primark is known for their disposal wears but I feel like they may have gotten a bad rap. But then again when a pair of jeans is only £6 you can't expect them to last ten years. For me, my entire wardrobe would not be comprised of Primark garments but it's great for things you just do not want to pay more for or if you're re-entering the work force. Today I scored today and best of all it wasn't I really busy. I got 5 pairs of jeans different styles and colors, 2 pairs of jeggings , a pair of leggings, two bottles of nail polish, 8 pairs of cushioned socks, 3 pairs of 100% cotton underwear a cardigan and a blouse all for £67 or $108 CDN. That's approximately $4.69 per item!! I love a deal! Primark also sells make up, make up brushes and tools, purses, shoes, children clothes and lots of accessories. They cover it all. No be warned that various locations may have less a selection depending on the size of the store.

Your enjoyment or appreciation of this place is going to be entirely dependent on who you are, and…read morewhat your lifestyle is. 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.

If you've shopped at a Primark before you know what to expect clothing-wise…read more However, I'm giving this Primark a 4 star rating because the shopping experience is so much nicer than the Oxford Street store: there are no mobs of people swarming the sales floor, no extensive queues and I've even been able to walk into a fitting room without waiting my turn for an hour+. This is because the only people who typically shop here are local residents instead of tourists looking to get as much cheap and stylish clothes as they can carry. Also unlike the Oxford St. location the clothes tend to be placed neatly on the shelves/rails, making it easier to find the size and style you're looking for. And all that means is you can pop in on a Saturday afternoon for a stress-free shopping experience you wouldn't get in central London.
