Bargain hunters and anyone with access to even the most rudimentary of modern technology will probably know that Friday November 24 is Black Friday – that US import where retailers invite everyone to indulge in a mad scramble for discounted products. Every year there’s a load of tat on sale, often from iffy-looking websites youve never heard of. So where can you go to get some great deals from places you know and trust? The Time Out list of London’s best shops, of course.

We’ve pulled together those shops on the list that are doing the Black Friday thing, so you can begin plotting your shopping now. And of course you can go and join the pushing and shoving in the queues but if you want to purchase from the comfort of your pants, you can do so merely by clicking a button or two. Happy shopping.

The best shops in London for Black Friday deals

Celia Muñoz’s beautifully neat and bright children’s shop, full of exquisite clothes and accessories for ages 0-7. On Black Friday there’ll be a 25 percent discount on all items.

Best buy: Girl Mary Janes. Was £49, now £36.75Buy them here.

Foyles Charing Cross Road

It was a bit of a shock when this iconic bookshop moved but its new location is lightyears away from the dusty nooks and crannies of the old building, and a bold visual statement of Foyles’s ambition and new image. For Black Friday expect some very decent literary discounts.

Best buy: Signed exclusive Foyles edition of ‘The Sparsholt Affair’. Was £20, now £10. Buy it here.

Kickslove

Kickslove is the fully realised dream of committed sneakerhead Lisa Barlow-Weber (who earned her stripes at Size? and Nike). She had a clear aim: to set up a sneaker destination for like-minded girls to nerd out in.

Best buy: F-13 by Fila trainers. Was £65, now £32.50Buy them here.

Topshop is nearish the top of Time Out’s 100 best shops list.

There’ll be plenty of Black Friday discounts on November 24.

Best buy: Sequin cold shoulder crop top. Was £49, now £25. Buy it here.
