Lidl Set to Open in Hammersmith's Kings Mall


Second new supermarket for centre along with existing Sainsbury's

The store, which will be around the corner from the long established branch of Sainsbury's, will open in July 2020 and will be twice the size of a normal Lidl store.

A smaller branch of the no-frills supermarket is already open in the West 12 Centre in Shepherd's Bush, but plans by owners Landsec to redevelop the centre could see this branch being closed.

Also poised to open within the centre is Metro Bank, bringing seven-day-a-week banking to customers and superfast account opening in a new branch currently being fitted out.

This will be second branch of the bank in the borough, alongside the one in Fulham Broadway shopping centre.

There is further good news for Kings Mall with increased investment by Danish gift store Flying Tiger, and American sportswear chain Footlocker, which has increased its lease by five years and is installing a double-height shopfront.

Children's favourite Okido, which has been running arts and science workshops during the summer holidays, now plans to extend its stay. You can find out more about Okido and its events, including The Crafty Robot, offering technology and engineering workshops for kids aged three and up, taking place daily from Saturday 17 - Sunday 25 August and Creative Design, from 27 - 31 August, here.

The new arrivals are a major boost for owners Schroders who bought Kings Mall in 2015 for £153million, and set about revamping and upgrading the centre.

Centre manager Andrew Proctor, said of the new arrivals: "They are huge high street names, so we are delighted to welcome them to Kings Mall, and it will be exciting to see the improvements in the Flying Tiger and Footlocker stores."
