On Boxing Day this year, the NEXT sale opened early as always at 5AM in the morning. Readers can already see many shoppers coming into Westfield hours before Stratford International Station, which is the nearest station to Westfield Shopping Centre, opened. However this was not the only highlight! Whilst visiting the shopping centre at its early hours, readers will find that the store UNIQLO, was offering its first 100 customers a free gift. A long queue for UNIQLO soon formed with many shoppers buzzing with excitement.

The excitement of Boxing Day sales meant that security increased within Westfield with many designated doors and lanes being monitored closely. Escalators were even reversed to ensure that shoppers could arrive at the different floors in an orderly fashion! As hours went by, the number of visitors into the popular shopping destination increased vastly, Westfield reported approximately 100,000 people came through its doors by 1PM!

Did the readers manage to grab any bargain in the Boxing Day sale?
