Lush to return to iconic London location after 10 years

Lush is set to make its return to Covent Garden, ten years after leaving the London shopping destination.

Opening as a festive pop-up on 3 November, the 2,745 sq ft store will be expanded in spring 2024 by 1,894 sq ft to accommodate the opening of a Lush Spa.

The store sits within a listed building with entrances from both Long Acre and Floral Street.

Lush’s previous Covent Garden store was open between 1998 and 2013.

Ellen Peters, Lush UK and Ireland property director, said: “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.”

Earlier this year, the largest Lush store in the world was sold, with the 37,000 sq ft superstore on Liverpool’s Church Street fetching £9m.
