Factory Outlet North Finchley is nothing like that. There are some good deals to be had, even a rack starting at just 5 pounds. I'll admit the clothes in this shop are taste-full and beautiful. There is a particularly nice brown ruffle dress in a silky material for 22 pounds and some lovely knits that wrap around your body. The staff here is friendly enough and not up your arse, in a way that is common in a small store. I like to come in here and have a poke around. I will note this store only sells clothing so no handbags or shoes on offer.

The Designer Warehouse is one of my favourite London discoveries…read more Not far from my home, and just off Seven Sisters road is a monthly sale for designer clothes - having heard from it from a colleague, I didn't really know what to expect. It was great and would definitely recommend giving it a visit. When getting to the warehouse, you have to leave your bag and coat (including your phone) in a cloakroom, and may a small fee of £3 (or 2?) to be able to get in. The sale is over 2 floors, and organised by designers - some are really well known, some are smaller names I've never heard of. It's not a posh environment, it's just rows and rows of clothes on hangers - and you have to take the time to go through them to find the gems, and also your size. There aren't any changing rooms, but there is an area where you can go and try them on at the back of the venue - it's closed off to men, but you do have to accept getting changed in front of other women. I am myself a massive fan of Vivienne Westood, and this was also the opportunity for me to try on a few pieces of her clothes - and yes, I did cave in and buy a top (1/3 of the original price) and a scarf. Good to know: they separate their sales between womanswear and menswear - their schedule is updated on their website.

Because it's a small M&S they carry the essentials but do not have a large selection of items. They do have a range of packaged meats and fish, fresh fruit and veg and a small bakery.

At the entrance you're greated with the flower stand (the entrance is consumed by it) and it's very tempting. They have all the usual you'd expect in their food halls, just on a smaller scale. The car park has a pay-and-display system (once you've shopped you'll get moneyback). My only annoyance with M&S food halls generally speaking is that they charge for their carrier bags. I think there should be a spend limit on this as who carries about a handful of carrier bags as a just in case?!

If you've shopped at a Primark before you know what to expect clothing-wise…read more However, I'm giving this Primark a 4 star rating because the shopping experience is so much nicer than the Oxford Street store: there are no mobs of people swarming the sales floor, no extensive queues and I've even been able to walk into a fitting room without waiting my turn for an hour+. This is because the only people who typically shop here are local residents instead of tourists looking to get as much cheap and stylish clothes as they can carry. Also unlike the Oxford St. location the clothes tend to be placed neatly on the shelves/rails, making it easier to find the size and style you're looking for. And all that means is you can pop in on a Saturday afternoon for a stress-free shopping experience you wouldn't get in central London.

There was music playing sunny tunes, with children dancing around, old people just chatting away in Spanish. The place seems more on eone gaint social club than a load of shops. Had a huge meal with fresh juice, followed by a Colombain strong coffee. Than just enjoyed the vibe. Often pop in when passing. Top tip go on saturday for a hair cut, a meal, stock up on books, dvds, music for learning the language. Or just pop into for a coffee or frozen juice on a stick. And if all this eating and drinking gets too much there is always the suit and corset maker to hide the sins.
