From Nottingham to London

 

Yesturday it was a six o'clock start to be enroute to London at eight, which I personally was not looking forward to. It took the Fashion Retail class four hours with only one stop, never stopped at a service station but the food prices were so expensive! When we drove into london we got caught in traffic and the driver didnt know where he was going. But in the end we arrived at Camden and was ready to do research.

Camden is a lovely place, full of independant designers and boutiques. Some of the shops are amazing because they either have crazy signs or huge statues standing outside. Obviously Camden has been created around the stables as you can see from the hores. Inside the stables its a like a carboot sale, but the items are really unique. You can find some real bargins but then you get some expensive accessories and garments. It was nice to see something different as you dont have this back in Nottingham which is a shame!


Next stop was the famous Oxford street. The only thing that was letting me down was the tubes, put it this way im not a big fan of them. We didnt go to Oxford straight away, we got the tube to Carnaby street, which is a lovely place apart from it was tooo busy and there were loads of forigners. Me and Esther got a bite to eat then headed of to Oxford. I wanted to find Primark as that was my research on how people treat the main store and looked at the layouts. I was dissapointed because I walked in and was surprised to see everything everywhere because it was that busy. I went upstairs to have a look at the accessories and compared to the Nottingham one we have got more space and loads of more choices, the bags were just dumped on the shelves and not hung up. We actually seen people just sat on the floor sorting out their purchases and getting in the way. It wasnt a pretty site.

I have to say London is not the place for me. It was far to busy for my liking and what is it with all the people stearing! Its like youve walked into a different world. Towards the end we all met at Hyde park and got the coach back and yet it took us four hours but I did not fall asleep! To say we started off at eight and didnt get back till nine it was in good timing. London is alright for those who love to shop all the time, but im the sort of person who likes to be in quiet places and someone who wants my own space
