Black Friday is one of the UK’s biggest sale days and a great opportunity to buy discounted Christmas gifts or cheap outfits.
Black Friday is on the 23rd November and Cyber Monday on the 26th. However most British retailers don’t restrict their Black Friday sales to a 24-hour period, instead encouraging shoppers to take advantage of discounts across the weekend.
Don’t miss out on the best deals – check our round up of the best Black Friday sales in London to look out for this year.
