Who can resist a bargain? This week (and specifically from today – November 29 – Black Friday itself), deals and discounts will be flying at us left, right and centre in London. Originally an American occasion to mark the end of Thanksgiving and the start of Christmas shopping, other parts of the world have joined in to offer us seven days of big fat savings. And London is no different.
Instead of racing against people in shopping malls and stocking up on more shoes that you don’t really need, why not use Black Friday to save on experiences and make some memories? Here are the best Black Friday deals happening across London this week, from West End theatre and hotel stays to spas.
