Exciting News! 🎉 We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 'Meanwhile On Programme'🚀 Join us in welcoming the first wave of exciting brands: Kindred of Ireland, CANVVS, Love Cocoa, and Hades, set to open on Europe’s busiest shopping street 🛍️✨ The project was set up to provide prime location shops for innovative brands at reduced rent using both vacant spaces on Oxford Street and, in some cases, those formerly occupied by low quality businesses. Thanks to our partners, Places for London and Royal London Asset Management , the first stores will be either entirely rent-free or have the first six months rent-free.
