Southside Shopping Centre announces refreshed retailer lineup | London Daily News

Southside Shopping Centre has announced the arrival of three new brands, and the expansion of three existing stores, enhancing the centre’s experience for visitors ahead of the festive season.

Pop-Up Club, Espresso Vibes and Foresthaven are all joining the lineup this autumn, with The Fragrance Shop, GET Free Books and H&M upsizing and growing their presence at the Wandsworth shopping centre.

Following its success in 2023, The Pop-Up Club has returned to Southside, bringing a diverse selection of unique small brands. The pop-up experience showcases produce from small, creative and independent London traders in a fun and engaging space. From beautifully hand-crafted products including eco-friendly candles, clothing, art and home decor, visitors can shop small and sustainably this Christmas.

Espresso vibes offers a unique experience to indulge in speciality coffee as it should be. The brand brings a range of coffee from El Salvador and Brazil, as well as coffee from Columbia and Uganda. The kiosk, which is located adjacent to Accessorize, also offers several washed and natural batch brew options as well as a number of alternative beverages including Matcha latte, Chai Latte and iced options.

With an aim to break the cycle of single use products, London lifestyle brand Foresthaven create quality homeware, jewellery, clothing and furniture products which honour the planet. Their new 1,554 sq ft store at Southside will open beginning of November and will be located on the ground floor between Pandora and Claires.

In addition to the new brand arrivals, three popular stores within the centre are expanding to accommodate growing customer demand and enhanced product ranges.

High-street favourite, H&M reopened its doors on 31st October, following a significant upsize. Promising a refreshed interior look and feel, that focuses on the customer experience and sustainability, the new 23,000 sq ft store boasts the brand’s extensive range of womenswear, menswear and childrenswear alongside an array of homeware and beauty products.

The Fragrance Shop has recently expanded its offering having undergone a scent-sational makeover. The new and larger 1,200 sq ft store opened last month, providing visitors a greater choice of beloved and new perfumes including Marc Jacobs, Polo Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, alongside an enhanced immersive retail experience in store.

Southside’s free bookstore, GET Free Books, has also relocated to a larger 1,377 sq ft space, located on the ground floor opposite Primark. The store is run by the Global Educational Trust and aims to provide the opportunity for people to read and educate themselves to become leaders, pioneers or visionaries.

Rebecca Ruddle, Centre Director at Southside Shopping Centre, said: “As a leading retail destination which is so embedded in the borough it serves, it’s important for Southside to continually evolve. Alongside our centre refresh, these new additions and expansions reflect the centre’s commitment to providing an unparalleled shopping experience and offer a dynamic and diverse of retail and leisure options for guests. We’re confident our visitors will enjoy browsing through all our new and existing retailers, as they search for the perfect gifts this Christmas.”
