Best Primark?

9 replies

I'm in Northampton and really need to get to a big Primark to get a bunch of cheap summer bits - where's the best out of Birmingham and Coventry? I seem to remember the Coventry one being pretty good. The Milton Keynes one looked a bit small the last time I was there. I can also get to London, and obviously the Oxford Street one is huge but some people say the Hammersmith one is better? I know there's the new huge one in Manchester but that's a bit far for Primark!

The best one in central london is in tottenham court road. It carries almost all stock and is less full of tourists dragging around suitcases then the oxford street one.

Ooh thanks! I haven't been to London in ages and rather fancy that more than Coventry!

The Tottenham Crt rdl Primark is across the rd from the tube st & in the building where the old Virgin superstore used to be.

Whilst you're up there check out Bershka (diffusion of Zara) in Tottenham court rd just past top shop but other side road. Great holiday stuff but v on trend.

Don't go to the Birmingham one. It's huge but packed and always a mess. A lot worse than others I've been in.

Go to the Coventry one! 3 floors and if you go as soon as it opens (9 I think) it's tidy and quiet ish. Avoid school holiday weeks too.

Hate the Birmingham one, awful lighting, claustrophobic and a mess Shock

Where's the MK one?

Zara doesn't do my size so not sure Bershka will!

Moo the MK one is in the shopping square but not in the shopping centre itself. I remembered the Coventry one as being good.

Selfridges now does an "edit" of the best pieces from Primark so it's possible to avoid the scrum entirely. If you do go to a Central London one, go on a Tuesday morning.
