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!

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.

I hate to suffocate while shopping, as if it wasn't annoying enough. The staff care for your needs as they came right away to make sure we were ok and had all the help necessary. Some couches are available on the second floor for those who wish to rest while their companions go over the store. I like the style of clothes and they offer a wide choice of shoes, clutches and purses that's drive mad any fashion lover ;). All in all, it's a really nice environment and i'd gladly come back.

The clothes are priced quite well and are very stylish and up-to-date with the current fashions. As the store is on Oxford Street it is busy, but wasn't too bad when I went. The staff there are friendly and the stock levels on shelves are maintained well

Yes, I love Urban Outfitters. And of all their London stores, the Kensington branch is by far my…read morefavourite. The reason is that is quite big (I think bigger than the one in Covent Garden), less crowded than the Oxford Circus one and less busy, so they usually don't run out of beautiful garments that I spot in the website and then I try to find in store. I wish the prices were lower, and at the same time, I'm grateful that they aren't because if that was the case, the tiny, old and almost falling apart wardrobe that I share with my boyfriend in London would be so crammed that it'd be impossible to find any single item. Although the prices are quite high, the truth is that the sales are really good value. In the last ones, I got a Vanessa Bruno jumper for £40 (it was £150 before, how would you buy a jumper for that?), a cute dress from Kimchi-and-Blue for £15 and an equally nice cardigan from BDG for £10. I love to wear UO clothes when I go to Spain, everybody notices them :)

Whereas other Urban Outfitters either don't reduce the price enough for my liking, or do and then immediately get pillaged, this one always has a good variety of clothing and sizes. The "designer" section can have some incredibly nice things, but I did gasp slightly when I realised I was about to try on a 500 pound day dress. As much as I'd love to be shopping in that price range, my wallet can't take it.

I never thought I'd be able to lump cheap and chic into the same sentence... usually fashion claiming to do so makes you look more like roadkill then fashionista. Top shop is one of those few places where they live up to the cheap and chic promise. fun girlie pieces, cheaper more wearable remakes of your favorite catwalk look and celebrity wardrobe items. You always know if you need or must have something new to wear on that date or maybe to a new party your going to topshop is the type of place you can run into on you lunch break and pick up something that'll make you feel fab and won't break the bank too. cheap enough to buy something cute every week. Did I mention celebrities also shop here too? Kate Moss not only is a long time devotee of topshop but she now even designs a line for them so mere morals like me can purchase a bit of her style. The only downside is everyone else shops at topshop too so don't expect to be the only girl wearing that 'it' dress or shirt!

I'm lucky enough to be able to hit the flagship branch of Top Shop with a tennis ball from my office. Great for lunch time shopping and late night bargain hunting.

It's really amazing cloth, that they have and for what you get there the price is good. They have a lot of variation and high fashion pieces, of which u could think they are from one of the gorgeous designers we have in our world....but most of the cloth is under 90 pounds. I love to try new things and to change my style..... this shop is amazing for me! They have a lot of elegant, sparkling and shiny clothing. But also very cool street wear. But every piece has something which makes it special and a bit edgy. I love this kind of cloth. This shop has one big floor for women and one big floor for men. Not to big, but still a lot variety. And also shoes, jewelry and accessories. The staff is quick and polite.... you have to remember that its in Oxford Street so they have to deal with a lot of tourists all day long. So....now about the prices It's not a shop for everyday but you get high quality and as I said most of the close is under 90 Pounds. For example shoes can get to 110 Pounds but you also can get wonderful dresses for 45. In conclusion: If you like fashion which is a bit edgy and glamorous than you definitely should take a look ....also the boys ;) have fun!
