Tourists from across the pond helped boost Easter trading figures in blighty, research has found.
According to the latest figures, tourists flocked to UK stores in a bid to find British gifts for their pals back home, pushing up footfall and finances.
The New West End company, which represents 600 retailers on Bond Street and Oxford Street in London, told the Express that it had seen more feet through doors with a 2.3 percent rise on Good Friday and Easter Saturday compared to last year.
It said people, including those from the US, France and Germany made the most of exchange rates and splashed around £75 million over the two days, a huge jump of £15 million more than 2012.
And it wasn’t just London which had financial success with coastal towns also raking in the cash over the Easter period.
