It’s a sad Christmas for British retail. A domino effect occurred across the country as the cold weather got harsher and a national rail strike took place.
In Central London, football plunged 31 percent from the week before. It was 20.7 percent down across large cities outside the capital and 18.7 percent lower in historic towns.
“Central London, with its proportionately greater reliance on public transport and a significant working population, was by far the hardest hit. It was followed by historic towns, where narrow roads would have resulted in significant congestion deterring some visitors who weren’t able to arrive by rail,” said Diane Wehrle, insight director at Springboard.
