Bicester Village Designer Outlet Reviews

Good price.... very clean.... Happy and satisfied customer

Certainly a busy place even on.a rainy weekday. Getting here is easy enough by train from Marylebone station and its about gbp28 for a day return ticket. Train journey is about 60 minutes and the shops are just next to Bicester Village Station. The Bicester Village ladies in red will gladly help you with any queries.

Endless number of shops with Gucci and Prada attracting long queues. A number of food outlets here will please many palates - indian, chinese, british, lebanese, french, etc. This place attracts a large number of China tourists, so don't be surprised if you see a whole train load of them onboard... we are glad to have them as their spending power supports the local economy.

For those of you wanting some rest and not too keen sitting in one of the many restaurants, there is the "contemplation room"!

This place is definitely a heavy dose of retail therapy.

go on week days cause its super busy on the weekend. if you have never been .... you are missing out

Visiting this outlet again after six years. There was definitely a huge change. In the past, we had to take a shuttle bus from the station before we could reach the outlet but now, there s a train stop directly at the outlet (Cool upgrade!!)

Comparing shopping experiences, I remembered that getting the discount coupon only required showing a foreign passport and I had a shock today when staff told me that I required an invitation (be prepared).

The shopping experience is still great though. There s definitely a wide selection of brands that you can t find at other outlets which is really awesome. The brands here are also on the more expensive side (luxury) so if you are looking for brands on the midscale level, don t bother coming here.

Overall, I really had high expectations of this outlet hahahha in my memory from years ago, it was probably the best outlet I ve ever been to around the world. Well.. can t say that now anymore ;)

Love shopping! Lots of retailers at the same place.

Such a nice day out with great savings on branded clothing

Visited Next and Costa Coffee today. Nice bright store with friendly staff

Really good shops.
Better check the deals online before.

99% designer - not for your average Joe. Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth and Ashford Designer Village, Kent much more down to earth stuff with sensible sizes! And lots of other non designer shops.

Good place to spend good amount of money and enjoy good food aswell. Been there several times and the service this year is good. Take the train not the coach to have enough quality time.

Many amazing shops and places to eat. Lots of parking spaces. The public restrooms are clean and very good. Amazing decorations.

Only visited the Pret a Manger for a sandwich and coffee, but as always great service from Linzy and Gaynor.

Good outlet for famous brand there are also prayer room good deals with sale price recommended

Great place to shop with huge discounts going on all the time. The staff are friendly and helpful 24/7 and the stores are always clean. Only problem is the Asian tourists shoulder barging you or snatching clothes from your hands (happened to me multiple times) whilst your shopping. But if you let the staff or security know they deal with it well. I had the last one of a jumper in Medium whilst I was shopping and an Asian lady literally ripped it from my hands, I was so shocked, but when I told the security he got it off the lady and gave it back to me to purchase.

How can you not love this place every designer shop you can think of at incredibly low prices very lucky to live close by.

Awesome shopping experience, however mobile data is very poor. Whilst the wifi was fast, it would really complete the shopping experience if you could address this.

Was not too busy, always good to have a peruse. Not really a Gucci guy but always up for North Face

Bichester Village is a luxury and branded stores with a good price. Most ladies want to get here when visiting england. The outdoor place is very comfortable. But you have to have your own mineral water I think when visited this place

True Religion- Prada- Alexander McQueen- Vivian Westwood.. it's all here.. some great stuff

Very busy and no social distancing from other shoppers (typical). Whoever runs the site should limit how many people enter.

If you like shopping at expensive shops is the right place to go you can get Bargains but it was very crowded seeing we're going through an epidemic

If you love designer stuff that's inexpensive then visit this place. Very well presented, had a good day out.

Shops were excellent but could of done with more restaurants

Pre-social distancing review!
There seemed to be no maximum limit of customers. When we visited in November 2019 it was worse than the Northern Line tube.
All walkways were rammed and inside the shops you could not step anywhere without bumping into customers dragging large suitcases around to store their purchases (there were many of these customers!).
People even brought their dogs to the shopping village and took them into the busy shops to be trodden on or tripped over.
All shops are designer, none are 'high street', apart from a Clarkes shoe shop.
I hated it the entire day, including all the overpriced food areas, with serious lack of eating choices.
My 19 year old son however loved it and he will be going back with his friends.

I went during the summer sale and i was thinking that i would have double sale on my purchases but i was wrong . They only sell at outlet sale ..when i went to oxford street i found better discounts there and better varieties..Bicester can't be compared with USA premium outlets..they ( usa outlets) provide higher value for money and their prices are way better than Bicester village

Retail brand outlet. Pronounced as "Bistar Village". Only top brands, but cheaper than usual retail price. A must go place if you like brands.



During seasons/ bank holidays there are special offers which are bloody good. I love this place and buy most of our branded stuff from here.

To tell you the truth, this place has seen Celebrities do their shopping here when they are in London...

Postives - Lots of parking, Well managed, kids play area, plenty of small food joints.

All in all a great day out. "Enjoy shopping brands , has to be Bicester"

Clean,tidy and organised. Some great bargains but you have to search for them, very busy.

Always good bargains to be found with high end boutique stores .. Just a little waiting to gain entry in busy times

Classic shopping center
Nice place
Easy going by train from oxford
Should try it
It is the same as la balle village In paris

Interesting place. Fake village with not fake shops. Full of tourists grabbing bargains and stuffing their suitcases. Great for fashion label grabbers. More to life than an overpriced label. Everything is overpriced. A coffee from a More

Bicester Village is probably the nicest designer outlook in the UK; however, there are others in which you will find the same items for less; for example York Designer Outlet and Gunwharf Quays; in fact, you can go to the actual designer stores in London during the Christmas sale and find them cheaper.

Parking is also awful and overcrowded; however, if you take the train then it is probably the easiest one to get to and from London.

Real good place for shopping, such a shame that for some of the shops you have to queue up. Luckily for us we weren t too bothered about them shops, however you could see a lot of people getting frustrated. Would prefer also if there was better places to eat here.

Arrived 8.30 today car park empty cattle grids empty
Go to each store all digital queue s which is fine
however Gucci digital queue closed till at least December told to comeback in December
laboutin the same went back 3 times no success
all marshall s miserable unhelpful and look totally depressed
admitted defeat and left for Harrods
My advise don t bother
they will hold you in at least a mile long cattle grid queue and when you eventually get into the shops all the appointments are gone
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME

Great outlet with all the major luxury brands. The stores that seem to do great discounts for guys are reiss, burberry, and Paul Smith but there are tons of great stores

Fantastic shopping experience, the staff at the apartment are amazing especially the manager Claire she always goes above and beyond

No social distancing at all and apart from that some nice shops.

I always enjoy my visits and come away with a few little bargains

I bought the handbag,it was buy one get one free in COACH shop and cheap price as well.

I've been here once, and managed to purchase a limited edition Micheal Kors bag! I also bought some Calvin Klien sets, and they have the best range of stores. Only thing is it's out of luck if you find something... i was very lucky!

Fantastic place. Very well designed and pretty to walk through with a great selection of restaurants and also a brand new kids play area. Easier to shop here than most places. Only issue is that it is an outlet so it sometimes lacks sizes and colours.

Lots of stores here selling branded clothings and shoes at outlet prices, some stores do seem to have old stock that they just want to get rid off at any random price.

I wouldn't go here at peak times or boxing day as it gets very busy.

Use designated car parks or go on the train as locals do not like you parking on their streets even though you are parked legally.

Love this place. Shop all European brands in one place!

Too many Chinese. Not a shopping experience anymore. More likely china top tourist destination in UK

I Iove going to Bicester, there's always one great item begging to come home with me It is a bit muted now though with Covid and everything else going on. Join the virtual queues as soon as you get there or you might miss out on some boutiques, especially Gucci as when i went the virtual Q was closed with about 200 customers pending

Designer goods at discounted prices.
Bit of a nightmare with Covid through.

Lovely place. You usually find some good deals. Have food outlets close by. Plenty of parking.

It s okay. Temperature checked at entry, but then there is no social distancing what so ever inside or in the shops. Lots of shops, but you have to like your brands.

Was a little difficult to park the car near the outlet aa it was busy. Had a baby with me so wanted to park nearby, wasnt too bad. The shops were close to each other, lots of brands to visit and some good offers out there. Also food options, good toilet and changing facilities. Also has a prayer room

This is all I saw of my recent visit to Bicester village. It was absolutely packed. I would recommend going at the quieter times perhaps during the week when people are working. Weekends are chaos. It reminds me very much of Boston, America.

Lovely, peaceful and calm place where old meets the new.

Easy to find and get to, free parking and some really great shops. Definitely worth a visit

SIMPLY THE BEST,
BETTER THAN ALL THE REST:

The Best Crepes in Bicester Village

Excellent day out. Fab shops plenty of choice - expensive & very reasonable. Happy, friendly staff, great customer service. New food outlets & lots of resting places. Definitely go again!!

Highly recommended outlet, free parking, and great customer service. You have to look hard for the deals but they exist. Social distancing rules were applied in the outlet.

Should to go for shopping The big one in Oxford Shire United Kingdom can buy baby to adult fashion designers band.
Shopping is very very convenience and can get discount.
Easy to eat
WiFi is free full service
Immediately can get VAT tax refund.
I recommend that one is should to go.

Really nice place to visit, even if your not buying anything.

Beatiful landscape as well as the village for luxury brands. Mostly 30% and above from retail price.

Half an hour drive from Oxford with Free parking.Bus and train connected.Staff all around helping you with questions,clean environment and toilets.Anything you can ask for in brands,also pop ups,so check online frequently.My opinion is they need more cafes and restaurants to make it an all day destination.Advice:Go there as early as possible to have access to more sizes and designs,They can disappear in a glimpse of an eye!

Not a great choice of shops. Cheshire Oaks has alot more to offer

Digital booking system means you can be waiting 2-3 hours in quieter times just to enter a shop.This put us off entering many of the shops and unlikely to go again until Covid restrictions have passed.

I mostly did window shopping, but was a good experience. Good carpark with even valet parking, i arrived by bus,Bicester village is just a short walk from the main road A41.There are various places to eat plus toilets, so overall a good day out.

Well organised place for brands shopping.wish if they open till 9 pm.

Lots of high end shops, mostly clothes. Needs more indoor, casual eateries - Pret was packed out at lunchtime, even on a Friday.

A wonderful shopping village with a relaxing shopping atmosphere with retailers regularly offering very good deals or discounts. The shoppingscape is well designed with a massive car park to cater to the throng of shoppers that visit the shopping village. The village has an open air plan and the area feels safe, modern, and clean with seemingly endless rows of bungalow style shophouses that meander beyond the distance. The village is home to a huge range of high end fashion brands each having their own beautifully decorated shophouse. There are also several restaurants dotted around the shopping village should one need to rest or eat during the shopping visit.

Too much overcrowded in this time period of covid 19

Best retail experience I have ever had. Clean & well organised. Great customer attention to detail & very friendly staff everywhere.

Great shopping mall with all of the great brands like Gucci, Prada and Burberry.

Lovely place to go some great bargains and very classy items

Bicester is a nice shopping mall in a village setting. One can find almost all top brands in Bicester though the prices are a bit on the higher side. There are ample parking spaces available in the area. Unlike many other malls, this mall doesn't have a dedicated food court though one can find quite a few restaurants at different places.

If you are looking for good deals and savings, this may not be the place to go. However, you will find all good brands at one place.

Really great day spent here. You need to look out for the good deals as some things can be cheaper when the sales are on during the year in the actual shops. However there are also truly great deals to be had. I love how they don't over crowd some of the shops. You may have to queue for a bit, but it is worth it when you go in, as you still have room to move. Yes we will go back.

Love this place grate place to get all you designer things.

Has a big range of shops ranging from designer to more normal shops. Wish there was more variety of food places though. Only has 2 restuarants and the rest are food stalls. Also the end near gucci really stinks of manure badly. Maybe something wrong with sewage pipes?

We went here during Christmas holidays. The stores were packed with tourists and the sales were on! Long queues but overall a good experience as we managed to find some really good deals! The decorations were enhanced so at night it looked like one of those villages in Europe! Beautiful and charming! Must go for the brand lovers although for us it was more of an once in a year experience! :)

A fantastic place to shop with strict Govt guidelines in place

Safe secure clean disabled friendly shopping centre for the rich and aspirational. I feel sure many people go just to be seen and get a belogod bag.

Designer cloting at affordable prices. Well worth a visit.

They said that it would have 30% off but most shop can't use it's a lie!!! Only all the staff are helpful

Busy shopping location with high end retail stores and expensive outlets. I found it can be quite crowded on its busy times. Free car parking with limited spaces.

Great deals to be found here. I ve bought items for much cheaper than rrp and it s been great. Big variety of shops for a range of budgets (low-high end). Only problem is that some stores don t have many good items compared to others. Overall it s a good place.
