Covent Garden, renowned for its lively and diverse ambiance, remains a magnet for a wide range of retailers in various sectors. Shaftesbury Capital, a prominent property company, has recently announced several new tenants for its Covent Garden estate, showcasing the high quality and diversity of these new businesses. This influx of retailers is a clear indication of the long-term appeal and potential of Covent Garden and the surrounding West End area.
Among the notable additions are Cambridge Satchel, Hoka, Arc’teryx, and Girard-Perregaux, which have already been discussed in previous reports. However, there are other exciting signings on the horizon, including The House of Creed, making its debut in Covent Garden in November. As part of the luxury giant Kering, Creed Covent Garden is expected to enrich and complement the fragrance offerings already available in the area. Covent Garden has already welcomed renowned fragrance brands such as Guerlain and Parfums de Marly in recent years. With the addition of Creed alongside Aesop, Chanel, Diptyque, Glossier, and others, Covent Garden solidifies its status as a premier destination for beauty and fragrance enthusiasts.
In the watches and jewelry segment, visitors can look forward to several new signings just in time for Christmas. Omega, Messika, and Hublot will open stores in the Royal Opera House Arcade, while Tissot will open on James Street. These additions follow the recent expansion of luxury watch and jewelry retailer Bucherer 1888 in their flagship Covent Garden store. Additionally, French womenswear brand Sessùn, lifestyle clothing brand Gramicci, and everyday fine jewelry brand Mejuri will soon become prominent features of the neighborhood.
Michelle McGrath, Executive Director of Shaftesbury Capital, expressed her satisfaction with the ongoing success of Covent Garden. McGrath stated that their goal has always been to create a multidimensional, experiential mixed-use district that attracts the best occupiers from all sectors. Under their ownership, they have introduced over 250 new shopping and dining concepts in Covent Garden, and they continue to see remarkable demand for their spaces from globally recognized brands, British labels, and independent businesses that align with their strategy.
With its bustling and vibrant atmosphere, coupled with its impressive lineup of retailers, Covent Garden remains a must-visit destination for fashion, beauty, and watch enthusiasts. As more top brands establish themselves in the area, Covent Garden solidifies its position as a premier shopping and lifestyle destination in the heart of London’s West End.
