Bicester Village Designer Outlet Reviews

A must to go when you visit London. All high end are there. Have a nice shopping and get ready to spend more.

Good shopping deals, had to drive around to find parking, was very busy.

Lovely selection of designer shops. Perfect for a day out!

It was too busy, the virtual queues made a girls afternoon out a dismal affair.. barely got into any of the shops. Some of the customer service workers are just down right rude! Maybe make it more know on the websites that virtual queues are needed to be booked... quite an aggressive place to visit at the moment.

Amazing village but have lots of luxury brands shopping area.

A beautiful place to spend a full day in which you can grab some goods at reasonable prices. There is Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms, and many places to eat and drink coffee.

Lots of good designer shops. Some good bargains to be had as it's a discount outlet. Good for a few hours out. Nice atmosphere. Parking a bit tricky but free.

Love the variety of stores here. Tag watches, DKNY two of my favourites.

Very busy difficult finding parking, big brands with attitude problem, can find cheap designer goods but mostly old collection

Very well organized outlet. Very clean bathroom and lots of workers around to ask for directions or suggestions. I had a great afternoon tea here at Cafe Wosley (? Don't remember exact name) after shopping and when it starts to rain. It would be better if it is all indoor to avoid the rainy days and kill the shopping mood. The price here is only 30% off for most brands with a few exceptions. There are a lot of brands so it's more like a shopping experience than a shopping spree. The bus pick up needs to be better organized. The stop at Hard Rock hotel has most people but no one at the hotel bother to manage a queue.

Terrible experience today. They reverted us back to park and ride despite of the fact there were several empty parking spaces.

Digital queues were a joke. Some of the store were not even allowing you to queue digitally as it was closed (but the store was open).

Very exhausting and horrible experience.

Will never visit again.

Very decent place, lots of variety and decent deals if you are lucky.

First time visiting and would definitely go back! Dog friendly and during covid, very safe, markings everywhere, hand sanitiser everywhere and masks worn by all staff! Enjoyed the visit, bargains and safety. Staff were lovely too and very helpful!

The outlet is a about one hour and half driving from central london. Nice place to get brands in low prices. There is restaurants available for quick bits.

Did too much shopping here. Couldn't help it ..... everything within easy reach.

It's not for me... Went there due to the rave reviews and because it was raining. Found I do not relate to the finer things of life. Preferred to keep my wallet in my pocket, but savoured an overpriced soft drink and a coffee with the lose change I had. Though I love pure fashion and design, clear I don't like altruistic representations of pseudo wealth and trash economics

This is the best place in England for shopping in cheaper prices. All the high street brands you can think of are available here in a discounted price. Nice Vibes

What an outlet! Very well organised with a very wide range of shops. Very accessible car park. And what a bargain! Discounts are massive on a very wide range of products. You've got to pay a visit if you pass nearby.

A very nice shopping experience especially if you manage to get good deals. Weekends near Easter & Christmas holidays are extremely busy so be prepared. Good variety of food options also. Convenient bus and train connections available.

Great outlet, free parking. Wolsely cafe was great. Very organized management of people flow in Covid times is commended. Some stores had better deals than others so we can be a bit of a hit and miss affair but worth the day out.

For those that like designers clothing its a great place to do. All the big designers are there, they have a great virtual queue system so you don't have to stand around all day.
Some stores get there queues filled quickly so get there early if you want to go to a particular store. Due to the restricted numbers allowed in the shopping is nicely laid back and not too busy.
One big negative for me was people smoking. Its open air but the smoke and smell does seem to hang in the air for ages. It would be 5 star if it was all non smoking.

Its a nice place, well priced compared to main shops

They have all the big names as outlets selling last year's designs at a discount. It can be quite difficult to find parking as it can get crowded. The actual village is very large having been recently extended.

Not a place for rainy weather because it's all open to walk.

Really really busy in the summer. Good for value and good for spending 5-6 hours here. Beautiful greenery, place is well managed and clean. Loads of places to have afternoon coffee or ice cream. Huge Pret A Manger but could be hard to get a table during lunch time. Amazing Crepe place but a bit pricey. Huge Polo Ralph Lauren store which has the clothing necessities for cheaper prices, as well as Jack Wills, Lacoste, Calvin Klein, Gina, and lots of other diverse big brand names. However, it s extremely crowded everywhere need to brace yourself. Also advisable to carry a suitcase with you to carry all your purchases. Don t forget to do Tax free as some stores won t bother asking if you want to do it. All in all, good experience and a nice day trip with family. Trains are also available at convenient times.

Really nice, good variety of designer stores at discounted prices. Cute little village! Lovely day out

The shopping village has very pretty and peculiar architectural design, and good variety of designer brands! They sell items cheaper than high street stores, up to 20-70% cheaper!
There is clean bathrooms and some restaurant, ice cream and cafe options, but it would have been great if they had proper places for dinner and lunch so one does not have to venture out when they want to eat
Overall it is nice experience to visit the shopping village!

Very popular place to shop with a good selection of shops to choose from.

Extremely busy, especially on weekends and kids holidays. Due to covid, lots of queues and too many people for social distancing.

One of the best outlet in Europe with the selection of the best brands. Unfortunately too crowded because its very well deserved by transportation. A shuttle bus feom Oxford and train station to London.

This is a great place to visit for shopping. The car park is free which is great. The whole experience I had visiting here was a good one. These are choices of places to eat either street food or sit down restaurants. The shopping centre is very clean and well looked after. I would very much recommend a visit here.

Huge...

Whatever you look for,
what store you look at you can find it here (I guess) ...

is it cheap? Of course not ...
Fashionable? A lot indeed...

We can say that it is the shopping mall version of Royal Ascot where horse races are held.

Social distance is less than to 2 meters because it is too crowded.

Men in suits are waiting in front of every shop.
Can't understand if the security guard or the salesman trying to help you...

Do not come with your wife or lover.
But if you make mistakes and come, don't cry about where my money went

Best of luck
:-)

Loved it some different shops to our normal. High end shopping with quality bargains to be had

Good selection of brands. From Marylebone Station, train goes direct to Bicester Village. No stress, just get your ticket both ways and you can start your retail therapy!

Excellent place for shopping, you need some money's.
Good day out

Very busy despite the virus and the lack of foreign visitors.

They check temperatures on the way in, but don't seem to be limiting numbers, so it is crowded. You are lucky to avoid people bumping into you, much less staying 2m away.

There are queues to get into shops.

A great little village of designer shops, restaurants and coffee shops. You can easily spend a whole day going in and out of the shops. All the different designer shops under one roof. Bring your credit card as you can get some great bargains.

Nice buildings, brand new,is reminds by the communist quartals...

Restaurants back open, so nice to feel semi normal however quiet as a Monday so easy to social distance. Not extensive sales but still some good deals.

Beautifully maintained, a huge store selection and great prices, and need better food outlets! But still a destination. Must see.

Love this shopping outlet. There are so many stores with good high street and luxury brands. The visitor centre has excellent service and you can get your tax back here too. There are a lot of toilets all over and are well maintained and cleaned regularly hence even though it s busy, you don t end up with disgusting toilets. Check out the app and download it too as it gives additional perks and discounts. There are many ways to get here. 1. Train - the train station is just a few minutes walk away and easily reachable from London. 2. Bus - book the bus returned trip from London and it includes VIP discount card too. 3. Car - most convenient when you want to shop as the car park is huge. On weekends and peak season, it can be difficult to find parking but if that happens, use the valet. There is a play area for the children. Lots of baby changing facility.

Lovely atmosphere. Cars taken to reduce vivid risk. Staff cheerful

Mostly designer shops, so although the designer brands are cheaper than the regular prices, you still need plenty of money!

Packed. Literally packed and zero safety awareness. Disappointing.

If you like a bargain you must pay a visit. They visit during the week rather than weekend. Try collect a VIP visitors pass from the information centre for extra discounts.

Parking is a nightmare but I always find a spot in a few minutes. New park and ride 10 minutes out so assume that's easier now but not used. Way overcrowded. Still good though if you have patience with walking around international tourists.

Great deals on all your top brand names, plus the best men's tollets iv ever visited. Quality...

Loads of great shops but more food places would make it better

Great bit pricy at times but lovely shopping experience

Love a trip shopping here. Clean, tidy & relaxed. Always a lovely visit. Beautifully laid out and lights in the evening beautiful in the trees.

Missing a huge market.... baby shops! Nothing for baby shopping at all. Ralph Lauren kids was the closest to it but still mainly for kids not babies. All first time mums are excited and love shopping for their new arrival.... Bicester Village needs baby shops badly!

Covid restrictions were very good! All staff are very friendly! Very clean place!

Wonderful day out! Lovely variety of shops, and wonderful, helpful staff. Their virtual wiring system is handy too! During the times of COVID, when I visited, it was all safe and crowd control was also good. You ll come home with a brilliant set of purchases!

Love visiting Bicester. Great place for getting a bargain on the high-end brands. Very clean and well landscaped outlet providing a great shopping experience.
The Crepes shop is to die for.

Full of Chinese arriving with buses super busy and can't get hold of anything because of them

Lovely place to shop. Good prices; prices are bit lower than in stores. Few places to eat as well but I personally do not find anything for me to eat.

A few price reductions, for the outlet, but not all that great. You will find the big brands: Prada, Versace, Boss, Polo. It s worth it to go once to have a look, but not recommend a second visit. Not all that great as it is praised.

Interesting place to shop if you have money to spend. The men's toilets needs improvement. But the ladies are cleaned.

Covid measures slowly getting better. Large array of shops. Expensive but you can find the odd bargain on high end items.

It s a nice and convenient place for shopaholic:) I went with my friend from China holding a VIP union pay credit card that will give us extra discount. We travelled from London and visited my sis in Oxford and travelled back to the village for lunch and shopping. Tax refund within the village which gave you cash and a lower rate, if you wish to have the full tax refund suggest to do it in the airport.

FROM LONDON

Travel from London Marylebone directly to Bicester Village Station from 46 minutes, with two services an hour.

FROM BIRMINGHAM

Travel from Birmingham Moor Street or Birmingham Snow Hill to Bicester North, where a shuttle bus will transfer you the short distance to the Village.

FROM OXFORD

Trains run from central Oxford to Bicester Village Station with journeys from 14 minutes

Brilliant place, so many high end shops, lovely cafes, and good discounts available. It's never going to be cheap (thankfully) but that's not what it's about. Plenty of parking when we went but pretty quiet due to corona, which was a bonus!

It was my dream to visit Bicester Village and I had the opportunity to visit this place during my recent trip to the UK. We took a train from Oxford, it was easy travel just two stops and we reached Bicester Village. We got down at the station, it is very small and beautiful station. As soon as you enter the station you will see the directions and very easy to find the way. It's a beautiful place filled with small, little beautiful shops, cafes, little restaurants, clean toilets, information centre. I loved shopping here, visited each and everyone shop. I was in the shopping heaven and enjoyed each and every moment I was there. Toilets are very clean and well maintained. Cafe and restaurants were good and had few vegetarian options. In each and every shop I had a great experience, SA were all very helpful, well informed, polite. I shopped few things here and had a great day. If you enjoy shopping or even window shopping this is the place to be. I was definitely in heaven. I thank each and everyone who served me, helped me, gave me information, making this trip memorable. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment at the Bicester Village.

Love this place. I come here very often and love how many different brands exist here. Please open the outlet till 21:00 hours every day at least.
The queues for tax refund can be long and on our last visit it was hot inside the small counter/shop. Also it s situated in the middle of the outlet so everyone comes here if they make 3 more counters at each end will help massively with crowds, some work needs to be done around that Bicester Village.

Beautiful layout and it is also very clean and tidy. The staff are helpful and impeccably dressed.
Great shops offering good discounts.
We went at Christmas time and it was beautifully decorated.

Great asset,bargains to be had if you know your price s

Very busy and some good shops but can't see what all the fuss is about.

Good deals , little bit annoying queuing everywhere

Nice place for retail therapy. Plenty of accessible car parking and public transport nearby. Decent food places aswell

York Designer Outlet is better than this one in terms of price and choice of restaurants.

Quick visit on the spure of the moment, lots of brand names id never heard of before. Looked round and out in just over an hour.

Individual shops limited access and adhered to maximum occupancy rules. Some had virtual queues of hundreds of shoppers waiting to go inside.
However there was no limitation in the number of people admitted into the shopping centre.
The result was a large crowd milling around in the common areas and walkways with no social distancing.
Not a pleasant experience.

Lots of nice outlet shops, top brands etc. Cheaper than full retail stores, but can still be pricey. Plenty parking. Dropped a star rating only due to lack of food/restaurant choice.

No comments needed if you love quality clothes you ll love this place

are ones of the largest outlet in Europe everything you want you will found it and that shopping I recommend it

Great range of stores for all ages. Plenty of food outlets. Busy but lots of parking

Unfortunately, due to Covid one is limited as to what one can do during half term. Had a lovely time yesterday at Bicester Village Love, love the whole shopping experience . Big thumbs up to the Gucci and a real shout out to Luke, a super lovely, friendly shop assistant for providing such an amazing service, really helpful great service with a smile .Ended up spending loads of money but there s nothing better than retail therapy.
Great prices at great value and lots of choice . Highly recommend the visit !

Good retail space with ample parking and excellent road links, not ideal for small children as they get bored quickly although there is a small play area. Pret ticks the box in terms of food as plenty of small kiosks with different options in terms of menu

Great outlet village with parking and facilities. Lots of Chinese tourists. Very busy but bargain galore. Food and decent facilities. About 2.5hrs drive from London

amazing

Will be coming here every time I visit England
(From Australia)

Great place to shop with great deals . Ask for clearance items to all shops !

Always a pleasure when I shop here. Service levels seem to only be going up and up and they are making the right investments to keep the place really relevant.

I've never been and seen any litter.

Spot on Bicester Village, keep it up!
