Harrods London

‘Tis the season for shopping in London! While there’s plenty of shopping to be done in the run up to Christmas, here in the UK the time to snag the best deals on your favorite items is actually after Christmas. Referred to as Boxing Day Sales (though not all stores will be open on Boxing Day), stores across the city offer hefty discounts ranging from 30% – 75% off from 26 December until New Year’s. Here’s our guide to London winter sales.

Shopping Areas

With so many places to shop in the city, you can save time by focusing on one neighbourhood or shopping district at a time. Oxford Street and Regent Street are always popular for Boxing Day and post-Christmas sales. Other shopping hot spots include Covent Garden, Carnaby Street, and Bond Street.
