Primark

This one is a much bigger store in Westfield but as always Primark is great for cheap basics and fun household things (I was excited to find super hero socks and owl pillow cases)

This is by far my favourite place to shop in london! Cheap clothing and underwear, shoes, bed stuff and of course various other nick-​nacks as well! Their new season stuff is usually a sight for sore eyes and their mens, womens and kids areas are easy to find :-) good for families, kids with pocket money and students as well.

I love this store! I was staying at a nearby hotel so I had an excuse to spend my downtime wandering around the mall. And I discovered fleece leggings and funky shoes and went crazy with hilarious souvenirs like a rat wearing a tiara tote bag. Primark, how I love thee and your quite reasonable pricing.

My wife’s gonna laugh at me for reviewing Primark, mainly because since I had my first primark experience I havent stopped going on about it!
So i’d heard stories about Primark-​rage and ppl getting lost for days in the queues and crowds of people.
In order to avoid this, I went on a Saturday afternoon in one of the largest shopping centres in Europe to do some pre-​holiday clothes shopping.
My first reaction was ‘OMG everything is CHEAP!!’, my second reaction was ‘I mean, OMG, everything in INEXPENSIVE!!’.
But seriously, the prices are pretty low. After avoiding temptation to buy a tshirt with a scantily clad woman on the front, I bought a bunch of shorts, tshirts, swimming shorts, flip-​flops and some random lounging-​around-​the-​hosue stuff just because I could, and it came to about £70.
Admittedly, the print on the flip-​flops came off a little while I was on holiday but for £2 — bothered! I found the tshirts a good cut, and the material of the hoodie/​tracksuit quite good (this is the random stuff I bought though I dont really do much «lounging around»).
I dont think I would really shop there specifically for anything other than holiday wear since nothing else really caught my eye, but it’ll defiitely be my place to go first if I/​Mrs K needs some retail therapy without completely rinsing my credit card.
