Sarah Ratty wrote us from Ciel to alert London readers about a Christmas Sample Sale to be held this Friday and Saturday in Covent Garden. What you can expect to find: fabulous coats, shoes, frocks, boots and knits at up to 50% off regular prices. Oh-so-British style mulled wine and mince pies will be served to tickle the taste buds.

The Details:
Friday, Nov. 30 | 3pm-8pm
Saturday, Dec. 1 | 9am-7:30pm
Covent Garden
2nd Floor, 65 Neal Street
