Handmade bath and body products retailer Lush has announced its return to Covent Garden after 10 years away.

Lush will open its new store on November 3, offering free gifts for the first 100 customers.

The 255 sq m space will initially operate as a festive pop-up. The addition of 176 sq m in spring next year will include the retailer’s Lush Spa.

Apart from housing the brand’s regular range, the space also features Lush’s latest tech inventions such as the Lush bath bot – a speaker with ”full-spectrum multidirectional lights that fill your bath and bathroom with a radiant light show”.

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