Slightly O/T London
Slightly O/T London
Me and my friend are going to London on Friday and staying over in a hotel for a treat to ourselves. The plan is that on Friday we're going to mooch around the sights and then go out friday night. On Sat we're going to hit the shops before going home early evening.
Basically are there any places we must visit (preferably cheap!) and wheres the best place for us to go shopping? I havent been to London since i was about 14 and my tastes have changed slightly since then a i spent the whole day in Topshop :rolleyes:
Help!We want to make it special!!:)

-Fit in as many markets as you can! Spitelfields is lovely, and if you go there you can also wander around brick lane which has some bargainous shops and sample sales!
Camden Market is a whole trip in itself, it's such an experience to see all the goths etc and at the same time find some really nice cheap clothes as well.
Oxford Street may seem like the obvious option, and yes all the flagships are great, ESPECIALLY urban outfitters, oh my god you could easily spend the whole day simply in the sales section, but since you only have one day I suggest you don't go there because it hasn't really got much there that you can't get elsewhere, for instance the bullring or some other huge shopping central.
