It is the focal location for new retailers seeking representation in the United Kingdom. London plays a key role on the regional, national and international stage.

Demand among international retailers remains strong with high profile deals by the likes of Microsoft, Samsung, Peloton, Gentle Monster and Free People. For those adopting a flagship store only strategy, London gives access to the UK market and is also seen as the springboard for store expansion to the rest of Europe. One of the trends to have emerged is the number of retailers upsizing flagship stores in London; these have included Adidas, Asics, Alexander McQueen, Hermès and Next. Another developing trend is the growing number of food markets. Openings planned include Eataly in City of London, Kerb in Seven Dials and Market Halls on Oxford Street.

  • Shops Aug 2012
    1 SHOPS Shops Among London’s main attractions are the long streets full of shops, some of which are famous throughout the world. All of those listed here were visited during 2011. Our survey teams found that access to shops has improved considerably in recent years. In particular there are fewer split levels, more accessible toilets, and more BCF. However, few have textphone details on their website and there are still a small number with unexpected split levels. Importantly, attitudes have changed, and staff members are more often understanding of special needs than was the case ten years ago. In this chapter we have concentrated mainly on the Oxford Street/Regent Street area, as well as including famous shops like Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Peter Jones and Fortnum and Mason. We have also included a few shops on Kensington High Street, and around Victoria. We have only visited and described a tiny percentage of London’s shops, so please do not be limited by listings in this section. Nearly all the big shops we have described have accessible toilets. Access is generally good, although the majority of the big stores have central escalators. The lifts are less obvious and may even be slightly difficult to find. Signage is highly variable. Most big department stores have a store guide/listing near the main entrance, or at the bottom of escalators, but these do not normally take account of access issues. A few have printed plans of the layout of each floor (which may be downloadable from their website), but these aren’t always very clear or accurate.

  • Shoppingsenter London
    Shoppingsenter London London er en deilig by, men kan også by på mange utfordringer i forhold til været. Mens mange er rede til å trosse regn og kulde er det likevel bra å vite at det nnes muligheter for å gjøre sine innkjøp innendørs. Det er noe for en hver smak da London både kan by på klassiske varehus og trendy shoppingsentre. Selfridges. Londons kanskje mest kjente motehus, Selfridges kan tilby luksus, klær, sko, mat og sminke. Du nner Selfridges i Oxford Street og med eksklusive merker som Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors og Chanel er det mulig å investere i noe uunnværlig. Men ingen grunn til panikk om dette blir i dyreste laget. Selfridges har nemlig også merker til en mye mer behagelig pris. Om man ikke ser etter klær og sko har de også en veldig imponerende Food Hall som byr på mye spennende mat. Harrods En annen klassiker blant kjøpesentre i London er Harrods som ligger i rett ved Knightsbridge tube station. Butik- ken er eksklusiv og har mye spennende interiør. Om du er i London i desember bør du gå forbi for å se juleut- smykningen. Harrods er også et sted hvor mathallen er ekstra spennende å besøke. Når du er i området er det også mye annet som er veldig spennende å se. Du kan for eksempel gå ned Brompton Road og ta en tur på Victoria and Albert Museum eller Natural History Musem. Westeld Westeld er to store shoppingsentre som ligger i øst og i vest. Begge er suverene på størrelse og utvalg av butik- ker.

  • Meyer Bergman Shops for More Stores in Queensway
    Share Meyer Bergman shops for more stores in Queensway 7 May 2014 | By Kat Spybey Meyer Bergman has taken a further chunk of retail space on Queensway as it looks to ramp up its exposure to the west London suburb. The fund manager is understood to have agreed a deal to buy a retail parade consisting of 27 shops on Queensway, which front onto its recently acquired Whiteleys Shopping Centre, for around £50m. The assets were bought by Meyer Bergman, in conjunction with Warren Todd, from a private Asian family. The shops, which extend from 114-186 Queensway, comprise around 90,000 sq ft of lettable space and are leased to retailers including Boots, Santander Bank, Specsavers, The Post Office, Superdrug and Patisserie Valerie. It is understood that Meyer Bergman will look to revamp the retail offering across the parade, bringing in higher-end retailers, and could also use the space to accommodate retailers moving out of Whiteleys while the scheme is repositioned. It is thought property investor Johnny Sandelson, working with a Brunei family investor, could take a minority stake in the parade in the future. Sandelson is currently working on a wider revamp of the Queensway retail and leisure offer. Investors are seeking to buy into the Queensway retail market in a bid to capitalise on its rejuvenation after it was hit by the opening of Westfield London and the continued strength of the West End retail district. Property Week revealed in September last year that Meyer Bergman and Warren Todd – who owns a number of properties across Notting Hill and Holland Park – had bought the 300,000 sq ft, grade II-listed Whiteleys Shopping Centre for around £140m.

  • Valuation Report
    VALUATION REPORT Westfield Stratford City London On behalf of Stratford City Shopping Centre (No. 1) Limited Partnership Valuation Date: 28 May 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 VALUATION REPORT 3 PROPERTY REPORT 4 APPENDICES 5 LETTER OF ENGAGEMENT 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary WESTFIELD STRATFORD CITY The Property • Prime shopping centre completed in 2011 within a major regeneration area of East London. • Anchored by John Lewis and M&S, supplemented by a wide range of fashion multiples and complemented by an extensive leisure and dining offer which includes a casino, cinema and gym. • Westfield Stratford is the largest urban shopping and leisure destination in Europe. Tenancies and Covenant Strength The Property offers an expected income weighted unexpired term of approximately 12 years 6 months (6 years 8 months to nearest break); this is considered good and is representative of a prime shopping centre. Within our valuation and calculation of the weighted average unexpired lease term, we have reflected planned asset management initiatives including four proposed lease surrenders and new lettings. In addition, a small number of leases contain rolling break options where such leases could be determined at any time; we have forecast when such leases will be determined. There is only a small percentage of income expiring within the next two years, most of which relates to short term leases, principally on The Street. Over 40% of the passing rent expires within 5 years, on account of the number of break clauses falling within this timescale. We consider the prospects for re-letting are good, given the strong trading performance of brands inside the centre and the low level of vacancy.
