The reason behind making this report is to study the impact on the retail industry of UK after the riots from 6th of August till 10th of August 2011 in London districts and some cities and towns in England which went through rioting, arson and looting. This caused a major impact on the retail industry where many stores were looted. This report is done on the basis of internet information and news collection from variety of sources.

It has been observed that one in 10 leisure and retail stores have been affected by these riots. Many tourists have been deterred from coming to England since the situation is very critical. This affected the economy account for $96 billion of the GDP which is 8.6% of the economy.

Perhaps most damaging influence should be demise of sell which are impotent to improve from the riots, the cost of which will reverberate through the innate groups. It is suggested that stack owner will rebuild the confidence and recuperate the loss.
