Factory Outlets!

Hi

Anyone know where the factory outlets are for Monsoon and Clarks? I live near Croydon so the nearest one, dont mind a drive.

I recall seeing a Clarks in Bicester Village in Oxfordshir, cant rememeber if they had a Monsoon. Is there one closer to me?

Thanks

  • The full list of Bicester factory outlet shops is Bicester factory outlet list
    and there is a Monsoon listed.
    Don't know if there is a nearer outlet to Croydon.

  • There definitely is one in Bicester and it is a really good size shop. However, with all these places it is hit and miss - sometimes I have got some great bargains, last time I went there was nothing (still with a baby and toddler in tow it was hard to look!).

    I don't know if there is anything closer to Croydon. Maybe it would be worth giving them a call to see if the store in Bicester can tell you. The phone number for Bicester village can be found here http://www.fashion-era.com/factory_outlets_shopping.htm and I'm sure they could put you through to the Monsoon store. (Sorry I'm still new to this so don't know if I can put phone numbers on here!).

    Hope this helps and have a great time. Let me know if you get any bargains!!

    Thanks do you know of any others instead of Bicester Village. Someone once mentioned Swindon, not sure where?

  • There's a Clarks factory outlet in McArthur Glen, Ashford, Kent. That's closer to you than Bicester Village but its still a good hour and 20 mins drive.
    The reason people don't move right down inside the carriage is that there's nothing to hold onto when you're in the middle.

    McArthur Glen is the brandname for factory shopping outlets. This is a link to their website with locations:

    I live near to the one in Ashford, Kent and it is a really fantastic treasure trove of bargains. For example, I am wearing a Tmberland denim shirt (a nice fitted shape) which was originally £50 - but which was on offer for £10 at the new Timberland shop in the designer outlet - and I bought it on a day when they were doing an extra 40% off all their prices - so it cost me £6. I also stocked up on a few Christmas pressies at the same time.

    It is really worth a visit and is close to the mainline Ashford station - or has a big car park (only 50p for 2 hours).

    I just noticed that if you fill in a registration form, you can get a 10% discount voucher as well !!!!

    By the way, it has a big Clarkes shoe outlet, but does not have Monsoon.
  • edited it, it was not rellevant
  • The Cheshire Oakes McArtherGlen has a large Monsoon and Clarks store, guess its a bit far for you travel. I'm planning a trip there in a couple of weeks.
