So if Santa didn&#8217;t quite get it right in 2013, a New Year&#8217;s resolution to hit the high streets of London might be just the thing for ringing in 2014 in fine style (and at a fraction of what it might usually cost).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Post-Christmas winter sales usually start on Boxing Day (December 26<sup>th<\/sup>) and run a few weeks into January. They&#8217;re a big thing too \u2013 and seem only to get bigger each year. For example, this season&#8217;s sales at world famous Harrods were actually kicked off with a performance by Cirque du Soleil with an estimated 250,00 shoppers flocking to the iconic department store in hopes of finding a bargain. The Harrods Winter Sale continues until 6pm on Sunday the 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0of January.<\/p>\n<p>Strategic areas to keep in mind for making the most of your bargain hunting expedition include the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Oxford Circus, for easy access to dozens of flagships shops along Oxford Street, Regent Street and Carnaby Street as well as a number of department stores such as Liberty, Selfridges and John Lewis<\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Knightsbridge, for high end and designer outlets plus Harrods and Harvey Nichols department stores<\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">London&#8217;s two Westfield shopping centres at Shepherd&#8217;s Bush (west London) and Stratford (east) for an all-in-one mall experience;<\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Bond Street, for some of the biggest names in luxury goods and fashion<\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Covent Garden and the nearby neighbourhood of Seven Dials or a unique mix of historic and trendy with something for everyone whether local or from out of town<\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Boxpark \u2013 the world&#8217;s first pop-up container mall \u2013 in Shoreditch for hipster dudes and quirky buys and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Chatham Street designer factory outlets (Burberry, Pringle of Scotland and Aquascutum) in Hackney.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">During the winter sales, finding discounts of up to 75% are not uncommon. Of course, the sooner you can get shopping the better but don&#8217;t despair if you&#8217;re arriving in London toward the middle of January. The later the sales date the better the bargain in many cases, with prices being slashed on an almost daily basis as retailers try to make room for new inventory.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<p style=\"color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Ready to get your shop on?
