Bargain High Street Fashion in London

London is a great place to shop for the latest fashions, even if you're on a budget.

London's high streets are packed with fantastic shops where you can bag a cheap bargain. And if you're after cut-price designer labels, London's regular sales are well worth a visit.

Primark

This low-budget brand is massively popular with dedicated followers of fashion. In terms of quality, you get what you pay for at Primark but it's perfect for bargain fashion that you're only planning to wear a couple of times. You'll often find designer-inspired pieces appearing on the rails just weeks after their catwalk debut. Stock changes connstantly, so if you see something you like, snap it up!

Topshop

A favourite with celebrities and their stylists, Topshop has a huge range of cheap clothes and accessories. Fashion icon Kate Moss is such big fan that she's even designed her own range for the store. 

The flagship store at Oxford Circus is the ultimate shopping experience. Spread over 4 floors, you'll find a vintage section, designer collections, tall and petite ranges and much more. There's even a pick-n-mix sweet counter to keep your energy levels up!

Zara

Blending designer looks with low prices, Zara's clothes are well-cut and stylish. The Spanish chain is at the higher end of budget market, but it is still a great place to pick up a bargain, particularly smarter clothes and suits.

New Look

For high street trends at low prices, head to New Look. It's great for wardrobe essentials like jeans and sweaters and you'll find some of the best-priced shoes and boots in London in all the latest styles and colours. The flagship store at Marble Arch is an ultra-modern futuristic shop decorated with lots of steel, chrome and mirrors.

TK Maxx

A determined hunt through the endless rails at TK Maxx is sure to bag you some bargains. Their philosophy is to offer big labels at small prices on everything from fashion to homewares, and they certainly deliver. Don't be overwhelmed by the amount of things on offer, just keep looking. Don't rely on the sizes on the hanger or the label; if you like something and you think it's near enough, try it on anyway. 

As they deliver more stock nearly every day, you'll have to be ready to do it all again tomorrow if you really want to keep up with the trends without blowing your budget!

H&M

Like other British high street favourites, the range at H&M is constantly changing and stock varies from branch to branch. The store has attracted top designers such as Stella McCartney and Viktor & Rolf, which has given some of their pieces cult status. Madonna has recently designed for H&M and the current sell-out collection is from Comme des Garçons.

Uniqlo

Uniqlo is great for chic basics, like a cheap Gap. Stock up on funky tops and warm snuggly fleece jackets in the latest colours. Uniqlo have a rapidly changing range of designer T-shirts. If your style is casual but funky, check it out.
