<p>Shoppers had mixed fortunes as the snow forced many to abandon their trips, while others managed to pick up bargains on the last Saturday before Christmas.</p>
<p>Brent Cross shopping centre in North London was forced to close as the capital was battered by wintry showers.</p>
<p>A statement on its website read: &#8220;Due to adverse weather the centre is now closed. At the moment we hope to open the centre tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p>Elsewhere in London, however, bargain hunters flocked to the West End, where shops remained open.</p>
<p>Jace Tyrrell, from the New West End Company which represents retailers in Bond Street, Oxford Street and Regent Street, said a good service on the London Underground and buses allowed shoppers to venture into the capital.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;Although footfall was slightly down on forecasts the shoppers that braved the icy conditions were spending.</p>
<p>&#8220;Many retailers have reported sales up on last year with jewellery selling fast and technology strong in particular the &#8216;must have&#8217; items for this Christmas, 3D TVs and the Apple iPads.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite severe weather warnings of heavy snow and widespread icy roads in London and the South East, shoppers wrapped up warm and donned snow boots.</p>
<p>Mr Tyrrell added: &#8220;With only five full days left of trading, those shoppers that stayed away today are expected to venture out tomorrow with the weather improving.</p>
<p>&#8220;With many online deliveries not guaranteed now for Christmas, shoppers have no real choice but to visit the high street and complete their Christmas shopping lists.&#8221;</p>
