Just wondering if there is any factory shop in London specializing in selling 'out dated' or out of season designer cloths, handbags in London.

I don't know of any in London, but you could go to Bicester Designer Outlet Centre, which has masses of small designer shops with generally good discounts. It's about an hour from Marylebone rail station.

Apart from the Burberry outlet in Hackney, there aren't any in London. There are near-clones of Bicester in Street, Somerset, in Swindon and at the Cheshire Oaks mall near Ellesmere Port on Merseyside (none accessible easily on your travels), but they're not really centred on "designers"
Designers really aren't a British obsession, except among footballers' wives and their Liverpoool slapper mini-mes. If you want high fashion cheap, go to Primark or New Look in any mall or High Street, where near-perfect ripoffs of curret trends are legally sold at realistic prices, but without the silly labels (YSL Tribtoo copies at £16 in Primark right now: ankle wedge boots in nude and black with cutout detail at £19.99 in New Look).
But you have to have a feel for current looks to appreciate the value. What's the point of some silly foreigner's logo on clothes or accessories no-one's wearing any more anyway? That's why Bicester's designer outlets are shopped mainly by Chinese tourists.
