Any last-minute central London shopping today? Or avoiding the city centre? 🛍️🎁
The number of Christmas Eve shoppers in city centre High Streets is down on last Friday, as more people chose to stay local or visit retail parks.
"The increased activity in retail parks today will in part be due to trips for food and grocery products as the majority of retail parks have a food store," Springboard said, as it revealed retail park footfall was up by 23.6% compared to last week. At shopping centres, footfall rose by 19.6%, Springboard said. Market towns saw a 14.3% rise and coastal towns a 26.3% increase.
