Burberry was founded in 1856 by 21-year-old Thomas Burberry who opened his first shop in Hampshire, and since then his label has come a very long way.

Burberry is now a global luxury brand with followers such as Sienna Miller and Gwyneth Paltrow and a turnover of more than £700 milllion.

So, naturally our search for their outlet led us to… Hackney.

Clothing and accessories typically have a third to 50% off. Plus, the outlet really is very nice once you get there. Well worth a visit, especially if you find yourself with an odd craving for one of their scarves just like I did.

Address: 29 Chatham Place, Hackney, London, E9 6LP

Nearest Tube: Bethnal Green –  note,  it is a bit of a trek from the tube – much better to persuade some kind sole to drive you or get a cabbie

Opening hours: Monday – Saturday 10.00am – 6.00pm , Sunday 11.00am – 5.00pm

Visit Avery Row W1 for the sweet Paul Smith boutique that has fabulous discounts.

They sell everything from jackets to shoes to even Paul Smith toothbrushes (a great novelty gift for those label-loving nephews). All at 50% or more off.

Note though, it only does menswear.

Since then Gap has expanded just a little…

They currently have 75% off throughout their stores, meaning there are t-shirts from just £2.99 and jeans from £8.99. What bargains!

Check out their website for current season trends.

75% off sexy summer maxi dresses, smart work clothes, stunning heels and more.

Head to their large Regents Street flagship shop for the biggest range of discounts, or find your nearest store here.

They do clothes for both men and women and almost everything in store is reduced – how refreshing!

Visit their online site and pick up a bargain like this Silk Frill Jersey, reduced from £99 to £30. They also have all the brilliant tailoring and exquisite knitwear you could ever want.

They have items for both men and women.

Shop online or find your nearest store.

PS check out details of their outlet site here.

There is 50% off most of their summer collection, making their items not too much more than high street prices.

There are now men’s polo shirts and ladies’ vest top starting at around the £40 mark, plus jumpers, trousers, skirts and more all reduced by 50%. Watches and sunglasses typically have 30% off.

I tried on a stunning deep-sea-blue, strapless maxi dress, reduced from £389 to £195. Perfect for any summer wedding or perhaps for the Goodwood races.

Address: 51-53 New Bond Street

Opening Hours: 9am – 7pm

Nearest Tube: Green Park or Bond Street

Anyway, we thought this one worth mentioning: At the moment they are offering 4 shirts or 4 ties for just £90, plus you can return anything that doesn’t look perfect for free (that’s what sold us on this one).

Visit their website now to stock up on shirts in smart designs, or find your nearest shop here.

Up to 50% off all their sprng and summer lines.

They make wonderfully flattering jeans for both men and women, so if you’re looking for a new pair then look no further.  Note, most jeans seem to have only 30% off, better than nothing though!
