Luxury jeweller Pravin Jewellers and lifestyle retailer Miniso joined the centre:mk line-up this month, with David Justice, Filippa Mudd and Nick Symons working alongside Time Retail Partners to get these stores open ahead of peak trading.

It was a busy month with EE, owing to the opening of the brand’s debut Scottish Experience store at Braehead (Nick Symons was there to celebrate), a new Elgin Experience Local store, and we also joined their brilliant client conference day in Birmingham to catch up with the top team.

Marks and Spencer continued its Central London expansion with a stunning new Covent Garden Food Hall, alongside a store extension in Wimbledon and renewal in Temple Fortune.

Our investment team were flying this month, with 11 new properties launched nationwide - from development sites and mixed-use freeholds to prime retail and Tesco-anchored assets in locations including Durham, Wells, Chelmsford, Nottingham, Leeds, Norwich and Watford.

Toilets with potential! We’ve flushed out two more fantastic leasing opportunities at former public conveniences in Westminster: Lambeth Bridge and Caxton Street in Victoria, which are perfect for community, F&B, fitness, or creative uses.

F Hinds joined Parkway Shopping Centre in Newbury, with Filippa Mudd and Henry Foreman completing the deal on behalf of Aberdeen alongside joint agents.

The Elifar Foundation Golf Day at Royal Wimbledon Golf Club was a huge success, raising money for a fantastic cause through a fantastic day on the green with industry friends.

We attended a fascinating The Leisure Property Forum seminar on Repurposing and Repositioning Leisure in the Mix at SpyScape London, exploring how leisure drives placemaking and regeneration.

Away from the office Henry Foreman has been busy putting the finishing touches to this year’s Art for Youth London event, which returns for its 37th year at Mall Galleries, London (4-7 Nov 2025) with over 1,000 works from 150+ artists. Make sure you get your tickets!

A packed month of deals, launches, and partnerships - keeping the cauldron bubbling nicely for what’s ahead in November!
