Uniqlo has officially launched its new store at Coal Drops Yard and is poised to reveal its revamped location in London’s White City Westfield on 10 October.
The Japanese clothing brand’s most recent outlet opened at 11am on 19 September, spanning approximately 800 square meters across three levels.
Housed within a Grade II listed Victorian coal drops shed, the store features the Uniqlo Studio on the second floor, providing customers with opportunities to recycle, repair, or remake garments, encouraging longer wear and sustainability.
In collaboration with East Japan Railway Company, a vending machine has been installed on the second floor, showcasing select items from Uniqlo’s kidswear collection for customers.
