I dont know whats the attraction here, if you workout your sums your better of going to oxford st, rather that wasting whole day and ending buying for the sake of it. If you in the area have time then its a diffrent issue. Not for me.

We visited Bicester Village and the train tickets were booked in advance. I enjoyed shopping there a lot. Many brand names with resonable prices, dining options, services. I loved the whole experience and wished that our return train was later than what we booked. Very recommended.

The village is great for designer shopping with lots of luxury brands in a nice setting. The free parking is always a bonus. However it can be very busy with some shops having ropes outside for que management. Also there is a real lack of restaurants for the number of shoppers. Over all if you get there early it's a...

Booked a ticket with Chiltern Railways to Bicester Village which was £32 with shuttle bus. I think there is a cheaper option of the shuttle bus from London, but the timings are really odd. The real was comfortable and had free wifi on board so the travel time went by quickly enough! It's free seating so go to Marylebone station... More

Well in this day and age when everyone wants to rip you off, I have to commend the village for offering unlimited parking for free. Brilliant. The village is well laid out and very clean and gave us a pleasant day out. The only thing is because everything's designer labels, it just means a lot of the unaffordable stuff is... More

For those coming from other non european countries like me the train ride from London to Bicester is worth the money paid for the fare itself. The scenic view of the countryside is magnificent. At the Bicester village there are many branded stuff.However for muslims do look closely when buying leather good..

A wide selection of stores and some good bargains to be found. Some of the stores are really high-end but there are also less pricey stores. Food is a problem, not enough eating facilities so do not plan to get lunch there as you could end up waiting for 30 mins to get in the restaurant.

If you know your designer brands a great place to shop for last seasons collections. Beware on the on busy public holidays as many of the popular designer brands have queues to get into the stores. It pays to do a little research before going if you are looking for something specific as the more conservative colours choices sell quickly,... More
