London secured an unsurprising top spot as Britain’s favourite Christmas shopping city with 58% of the vote with Manchester in second spot, a massive 13 points ahead of Birmingham in third place.
However, people over the age of 65 don’t need to travel to the capital to find their ideal shopping break – 55% of over-65s said Manchester the ultimate Christmas shopping destination.
