Lush returns to iconic London location
Lush invest in their London portfolio with a new shop in Covent Garden and are celebrating by giving out free Lush gifts for their first 100 customers
On Friday 3rd November at 10:00 am, fresh handmade cosmetic brand Lush will open a new store in Covent Garden. It will initially open as an exclusive festive pop-up store with a retail space of 255 sqm and in Spring 2024 an expansion of an additional 176 sqm will follow to include Lush’s transformative Lush Spa.
“We’re thrilled to be returning to the historic market and now vibrant retail hub of Covent Garden. In keeping with the market’s heritage when flowers, fruits, vegetables, roots and herbs would have been sold, we’ll bring our local, handmade, products made from fresh ingredients. Our new store, set in a fantastic listed building with entrances from both Long Acre and Floral Street, will give our customers the unique shopping experience that they want and deserve.
We’re excited to accommodate our Lush Spa concept within this space and look forward to providing an oasis of calm within central London where our customers can slow down to speed up. Our thanks to Picton, the Landlord, who we are grateful to have entered into partnership with, as well as all agents and solicitors involved in the process.”
