New shops keep popping up

Exhibition spaces, old fashioned tea parlours and digital aquariums are just some of the identities to be adopted recently by our pop-up shops in Camden.

Pop-up shops support high streets by offering short term lets in empty commercial spaces at a reduced cost.

The shops are filled by anything from community projects offering free costume making workshops to London Design Festival exhibitions.

 

Pop-up shops aim to:

·         Reduce the visual impact of empty property in town centres

·         Increase footfall and attract new visitors to town centres by providing a range of exciting businesses, activities and exhibitions

·        Generate publicity for town centres

·        Offer reduced cost/free space for local entrepreneurs, artists and community groups to try out new ideas and/or reach new audiences

·         Showcase empty property to potential tenants to help it be re-let
