Here Are 7 Openings To Look Forward to When London’s Lockdown Lifts
From haircuts at BLEACH London to PANGAIA’s pop-up at Selfridges.
With the COVID-19 vaccine rolling out and the UK having spent the past few months in a strict lockdown, the government has announced that restrictions will be eased on Monday, April 12, meaning that UK citizens will be able to visit shops as well as have a drink at an outdoor venue. The new rules come after months of isolating, and with cases down and the vaccine, we’re moving into brighter times.
As London returns to “the new normal,” we’ve put together a handful of store openings and activations you’ll want to check out, ranging from PANGAIA’s Selfridges pop-up to Dr. Barbara Sturm’s clinic opening. Whether you’ll be sprinting to the shops to boost your wardrobe, or running to the salons to get your beauty fix, we’ve got you covered.
