Spending the Festive Season in London
Many of us wondered round the shops before Christmas with a whole list of gifts to buy and kitchen cupboards to fill up as well as party clothes to find for ourselves as well as the children. As we spend, spend, spend and see the bank balance fall to an unhealthy level we scowl ourselves for not having spread out the cost and shopped year round picking up bargains when we could so that we can avoid that pinch in the festive month and just enjoy the celebrations rather than feel unprepared and bankrupt! What’s more, it’s always the same New Year’s resolution that we fail to fulfil.
Don’t leave it to the last minute, there are only a couple of times in the year that we are sure to find some fantastic bargains and that is the January sales and summer sales. Take the plunge and prepare yourself by clearing a few of the presents for the coming year. Not only will you make a fantastic saving in the sale but will also have the advantage of not running around nearer the time. A day out shopping in the capital can actually make it a wonderful experience as you are faced with not only a wide variety of shops and styles but can also indulge in some of the finest eateries. With so many cheap train tickets to London on offer there is no excuse to miss out on this fun filled bargain hunt!
London’s shopping district stretches from Marble Arch to as far as Tottenham Court Road offering a range of shops from high street stores to smaller boutiques with one-off items. All of these will have special offers on andextended shopping hours. Get your electronics from Tottenham Court Road, with a wide selection and the advantage of trying before you buy you could bag yourself the latest iPad or SLR camera with all the attachments at discounted prices too.
The great thing about London is that even though you are going for a shopping trip, when travelling from as far as Bournemouth to London you must treat yourself to an evening of entertainment with either a production at a famous West End theatre or a one of the many Michelin starred restaurants. Luckily when travelling by train you can enjoy 2FOR1 on over 100 participating attractions, eateries and even West End productions so you’ll not only be blown away by the shopping but can also make it an experience to remember.
So grab a train from as near as Guildford to London and you could be reaping the rewards this January. 2FOR1 vouchers must be downloaded online or ask at your nearest station for details.
