Concerns were growing that the cost of living crisis coupled with rail strikes could affect the traditionally popular shopping day.
But central London, which has been hit hard by industrial action from transport unions, saw more than double the number of visitors on Boxing Day morning.
Industry analyst Springboard said data through Monday noon showed higher foot counts across all three major destination types compared to the same period in 2021.
According to Springboard, boulevards increased by 59.4%, shopping centers by 46.6% and retail parks by 33.7%.
The 139.2% increase in passenger numbers in central London suggests that the negative impact of industrial action on railways has not materialized as expected.
