Paul Smith Outlet

To enjoy this 100% British brand without breaking the bank, you just have to go to its two outlets, located in the heart of London: one is in Mayfair and offers only men's clothing, the other is located in the City at the Royal Exchange and there you will find everything you need to treat yourself in both men's and women's versions. If the discounts are significant, it is because the collections offered are those of last year. But it's well worth it if you're a fan of the Paul Smith signature. You can also find accessories and decorative objects for the home.

TK Maxx

The chain, which has many shops throughout London, offers clothing, accessories and shoes from leading designers at low prices. For example, you can find Stella McCartney bags at 40% off, Armani dresses or Ralph Lauren jumpers at 50% off, the famous Hunter rain boots at £30 instead of £100.... Note that depending on the neighbourhood, the collections differ.
