The Luxury Life at Bicester Village

It was a field in Oxfordshire before 1955, today Bicester Village has a lot of New Bond Lane, with a few of the same names – but without the large price tags. Maybe unevenly the "village" is the second most visited destination after the prestigious Buckingham Palace.

When the name evokes an image of a picturesque area, the standards are met when you take the train from London. It is a business version of an English village with barnyard-like buildings in a row. The train ride from London's Marylebone Station will give you an essence of what you're about to experience. While it is not the Orient Express, a 46-minute trip on a tidy train, smooth and timely running, is a pleasant adventure with savvy commuters from wealthy Berkshire and OxfordshireThe train reaches Oxfordshire's small town and declares its destination in English, French, and Arabic. The stop is Bicester Village and has become one of the UK's most popular tourist hotspots. It is a cute little village and everything is well-preserved in one location.

The mind behind this stunning destination was a US real estate investor Scott Malkin, who spawned a new kind of shopping experience by combining his expertise in the sale of luxury items with the US outlet mall concept. The village of Malkin was created with Values Retail Plc in 1992 and Bicester Village was their first center. Each of them contains a luxury brand like Prada, Givenchy, Saint Laurent, etc. Goods are priced on an average of 40% of their list price. Imagine, Alexander McQueen has a classic evening dress in perfect condition from last season. Who's ever going to notice it was a season ago? All you see is that the value has been reduced from £25,255 to £900. It feels like you're hitting the Powerball lottery. You 're just trying to grab it and buy it before someone else grabs it. That's until you go to other stores like Dior or Gucci and experience the very same thing. That is how this place plays with you and makes you want to go bankrupt due to the mindblowing prices. The feeling of owning something so pristine and opulent at half the price would make anyone go ballistic.

The Bicester Village Shopping Collection is the 11 peculiar locations throughout Western Europe and China, within reach of many of the most important cities in the world: London, Paris, Shanghai, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Munich, Frankfurt. By Value Retail, the catalog is unique in its unparalleled brand mix, magnificent settings, linguistic wealth, phenomenal service, and retail price savings of up to 60%. Each village hosts the most admired fashion and lifestyle boutiques in the world, and each one offers exceptional experiences and generosity to the most refined guests in the world.

Good deals aside, the real attraction of going to Bicester Village is that it provides a fairly fun country holiday, a swift time from the town without planning the entire day and packing accordingly for a nice country jaunt. To look at the tranquil green areas from the train and to be in a rustic place during the day is enough for everybody. This could be your getaway destination if you empathize with Carrie Bradshaw from the globally enjoyed show Sex and the City, who appreciated the idea of leaving Manhattan but did not celebrate being in natural beauty.

Barring the exquisite shopping experience, the food here is to die for. Every meal is so perfectly curated that you would want to take that 46 train ride every single day, regardless of what damage it does to your pockets! The Wolseley in Piccadilly will assist you with grace and provide you with an exotic meal or if you're in the mood for something traditional, you could savor the afternoon tea at the rustic farm shop (part of the Soho House) in the Bicester Village.

One of the reasons why Bicester Village blew up is because of its aesthetically pleasing concept. The other reason is the fact that the thought of outlet malls is often off-putting considering their venue is in nowheresville. After all, most of the brands have websites that are willing to be at your doorstep delivering your package the very next day in this day and age. This is why creatively designing places that attract tourists is pivotal. People crave experiences that make them feel alive and appreciate the brilliance behind the particular project.

This destination is so popular that people from all corners of the world travel to visit it. Haute couture hunger fuelled the domestic and foreign numbers of visitors from Bicester Village which last year reached 6.4 million with more than 15% of those coming from the Middle East. Overall, the number of UAE visitors to the UK rose by 9% last year. The percentage of customers from the UAE and China grew exponentially over the years which led to the administration fixating upon the decision to translate every announcement in Arabic and Chinese.

After having a delightful experience of shopping and eating, you could board the last 10:58 train back to the city or you could choose to spend the night at one of the most soothing and calm hotels in the village. The Manor Country House Hotel provides you with all the relaxing amenities one would require after a tiring day. A little insight into its past, the Weston Manor has been regularly updated since its construction, rebuilt in the Tudor style of the 16th century and again in the 19th century, with the 13th-century moat in 1903. Cautious care of the property left it endearingly anachronistic, perfectly at ease in the beautiful countryside in which it sits. Most of the rooms have distinct sitting areas intended to make you feel right at home. It may be quite tough to break yourself away from what begins to feel like the convenience of your bedroom. During the summer, customers are expected to take advantage of the tennis court and take a walk through the vibrant woodlands in autumn to appreciate their vast array of songbirds.

Due to the recent pandemic, the streets of Bicester Village have been silent for an elongated period. But the world-renowned shopping district is preparing to reemerge on 15 June when non-essential distributors – designer label devotees could start to disagree with this description and are permitted to re-open. When it does, new mega-brands will be on sale, including Christian Louboutin, Etro, the luxury Italian label known for its Paisley prints. Other new signers consented during the lockdown include Roland Mouret and Prada. It's news to woo any fashion icon 's heart after days of retail deprivation.

The Village of Bicester is not just about shopping. It's a small vacation. Ritzy fashion in half the price, rich exotic meals, and a night's rest in elegance, who wouldn't want to have this experience? The next time you plan a long vacation, do make sure to include this mini-vacation in it!
