London Designer Outlet

Parking is SUPER expensive! The shops are good, but not as low as I expected. I went to some of the sports shops and found Sports Direct cheaper!
The M&S outlet wasn’t very cheap either. I’ve been to outlets outside London with better offers and free parking.

A very good place for some shopping but not rain friendly. Affordable prices with lots of brands. Good place to go, even if its just to get to know it.

Like most designer outlets, when it’s good, it’s great, when it’s bad, it’s awful!
There are a good selection of outlet shops including Nike, Adidas, Asics, New Balance, North Face and a handful more. Couple these with an impressive selection of places to eat and drink, you can see why it’s becoming my first choice for buying new sneakers!
The choice available in the individual shops can be very hit & miss, especially with huge plates of meat like mine! That being said, I’ve found some great bargains on my visits, and I’d recommend giving it a try before you pay full whack in central London.

I live exactly 15 minutes walk from my house to here so absolutely love it. As well as it being convenient for me, it has a good choice of restaurants as well as coffee shops, cinema and a selection of shops. I’ve rarely shopped here but have heard from others the selection is quite good and staff in all the shops are lovely and extremely helpful. Can easily spend a good day here if your shopping, then having something to eat and maybe watching a film. Parking can be quite expensive but if you have a cineworld card then its free. Extremely accessible by public transport as Wembley Park and Wembley Central are both within walking distance.

I love outlet shops so it’s hard to disappoint me. I came here on a Friday afternoon and was surprised to find that it wasn’t that busy (which I like because I don’t want to be trampling over people while shopping). Like any (premium) outlet shop, expect to find last season’s items from 30−40% off. I love the variety that Gap, Next, and Superdry had to offer. I was only sadden with how little H&M had in their shop. With Christmas on the way, I’m definitely coming back again!

The shopping complex is full of expensive shops (if you’ve been to Bicester you’ll understand what I mean) on 3 floors.
However, there’s only 1 lift in the shopping complex which was out of order on Saturday, the day of our visit. As my husband walks with a rollator, he doesn’t climb stairs or go on escalators. I went to complain to the people in the management suite and they couldn’t have been more helpful! Offered to loan him a shopmobility scooter and Shona came with me, took me in the goods lift so that I could get back to the level I’d left my husband at, and agreed to look after his rollator for us while we shopped. She gave me the office number so that when we were finished she would meet us to collect the scooter and return the rollator.
We bought some a two pack of photo albums as a birthday present from The Bookstore but, quite frankly, there’s nothing that cheap about the shops here. I did try on some dresses in the M&S Outlet Store, they were (supposedly) £39 reduced for £70 and, frankly, they were ok but nothing you’d say «oooh, that’s nice» so I didn’t buy anything.
The main allure of this shopping precinct is that is has loads of parking (expensive £5.50 for just over 3 hours!) the cinema and numerous restaurants. You have a choice of: Cabana (Brazilian); Café Nero;; Chaboba (‘Cha’ means tea in Chinese and ‘Boba’ is one of the names given for the tapioca pearls usually found in Bubble Tea. These are the two main characteristics of a typical bubble tea originating from Taiwan); Coast to Coast; Costa Coffee; Frankie & Benny’s; Handmade Burger Co; Jimmy’s World Kitchen (every type of food you can think of !); Las Iguanas (Brazilian); Nando’s; Ping Pong (Chinese); Pizza Express; Pret A Manger; Prezzo; Starbucks; Subway; TGI Friday’s; Wagamama, Wenzels and Zizzi! As fussy as my husband and I are, there are at least 6 of these that we would be happy to go and eat in!
I picked up a leaflet giving maps but the maps were so tiny I could hardly read them! It’s a fairly compact precinct so you don’t actually walk great distances.
