Closest shopping outlet villages

[Robert Poste's Child]

I wondered if anyone knows of a shopping outlet village that's not too far from here using public transport? I've managed Hatfield (Gap jeans ?13, bargain) and I'm working myself up for the one at Wembley, but maybe there's something closer?

I thought they were all located in the 7th circle of hell. Pretty sure you can get there via the circle line in rush hour.

Isn't Clarke shoe 'outlet' in Peckham (Village)

I can see you now RPC, all togged out in y'Gaps and suede desert boots, off to the halloween fest/nite

I'm going to be a bit cold dressed like that, aren't I?

The one in Ashford is a lot closer and, having been to both, virtually identical.

Down the A23 I seem to remember. Not sure how far down.

Think it's down the A20/M20 (A23 takes you to Brighton).....

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I visited the Wembley one today. Much easier to get to than I thought as it turns out Wembley's on the Jubilee line (I'm ashamed to confess that on my mental map of London it's somewhere completely different). Not hugely exciting but enough to make it worth a trip.
