Sugar sells black and white checkered shirts for £45. Granted, they are Ben Sherman designs, so…read moretheir price is valid. Generally if you forage through the stock in this store you will find one or two really funky, must have designs for your wardrobe, but they will cost you a pretty penny. I came here in mid December, deep in the sale season, and I found 20% off shirts that cost £65 a pop. They were nice shirts though, very well tailored, good looking. If you're able to dole out around £50 per item of clothing then this shop is definitely worth a peek.

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.

Secret shopping-in-London-without-wanting-to-scream tip:…read more Head here on a weekend for the best H&M shopping experience of your life. This store is a bit higher end, more professional wear, less of the hipstery cheap stuff. It's extremely well put together, the staff are nice, it's organized and not a total hot mess like other locations (ahem, Oxford Street, all of them), no ques for changing rooms. Open 12-6 Sundays. Weekends at 1 New Change are where it's AT. It was downright pleasant and I scored a few nice pieces to boot...!

Popping up out of nowhere and landing on Bermondsey Street is this beautiful little clothes shop…read more It was a black chiffon and feather dress that stole my attention, and once inside I was by no means disappointed. The delicately feminine silk, knit and lace clothes are hung beautifully alongside a number of jewellery pieces and bags. My favourite touch however, are the handwritten price tags "one hundred and twenty five pounds", so simple but so unlike all other shops. As you can guess Pussy Willow is not cheap, but it is beautiful, as for the little dachshund curled up on a cushion, that is enough to make anyone's heart melt.

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.
