Battersea Power Station's new retail and leisure brands to create 2,500 jobs

Battersea Power Station has announced a further wave of retail and leisure brands, creating thousands of jobs, according to business news outlet Bdaily.

The businesses will be opening in the iconic Grade II listed building and on Electric Boulevard, Central London’s newest pedestrianised high street, from this autumn, creating around 2,500 new jobs.

Among the line-up of new brands is Battersea Bookshop, a new standalone neighbourhood bookshop from specialist bookseller Stanfords, and London fitness brand Third Space will also be opening a 28,000 sq ft club in 2023.

Along with luxury jeweller ROX, an M&S Food Hall and luxury lifestyle brand Mulberry, these will join a line-up of retailers already set to open their doors at Battersea Power Station from this autumn. Retailers include Uniqlo, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, The Kooples, Ray-Ban, L’Occitane, Gant, The Body Shop, Lacoste, Aēsop, Mango, Reiss, Le Labo, Hugo Boss and MAC Cosmetics.

Fitness and leisure brands include boxing gym BXR and The Cinema at The Power Station, a new cinema and private members club, with sister sites including The Cinema at Selfridges and The Cinema in The Arches located in Circus West Village, the first chapter of the Battersea Power Station development.

Following these latest signings, 85% of the retail and leisure space inside Battersea Power Station is now exchanged or under offer, with the first stores set to start trading as the Power Station opens its doors to the public for the first time this autumn.
