Burberry
It was our first full day in London and we were walking along Regents Street when we passed by the Burberry Boutique. It was huge and not very busy when we went in. The sales associates were pleasant and they generally left us alone to browse. It was when I asked to see some long zipped wallets that I also asked about the Burberry outlet in the East End. The guy we spoke to told us it wasn't far at all from where we were. My partner suggested that we pay the outlet a visit. Within a few minutes we left the elegant Burberry Showroom and headed for the nearest Tube station. We got the directions to go there by subway online and in less than an hour, we found ourselves in the outlet store. By this time, my heart began to beat faster as I had dreamed of going there for ages.
That's me all smiles after shopping inside the Burberry outlet in the East End. I was like a child in a candy store when we went in. It was my very first visit to a Burberry outlet and I was hoping to get see some real bargains.
I did it! I purchased a travel wallet for half the original price. Actually, by the time we got back to our London hotel later that day and calculated how much I paid for my purchase, it all totaled $350 tax included. It was cheap if you ask me. Burberry long wallets normally cost $680 back in the US. To sum it all up, I was a happy camper.
The facade of the Burberry Outlet in the East End. I have to say, I was both excited to go there and I was a bit anxious as well. I had read reviews back home from fellow tourists from the US who described the area where the store was located as very dodgy. Truth be told, it was a working class neighborhood. But, it didn't seem dangerous at all. We went late morning and we saw lots of ethnic restaurants and lots of immigrants from the Carribean and Africa. But, we likewise saw nice apartment buildings and some upscale restaurants too. Honestly, should you want to go, GO! It's alright.
