A permanent Pokémon store is coming to London by 2029
London’s permanent Pokémon store is planned to open by 2029; its exact location and opening date remain unannounced.
Before we dive in
Permanent retail differs from the temporary Pokémon shops that appear around major events. A permanent location would give fans a continuing destination, rather than a short booking window tied to one tournament.
The update
London is getting a permanent Pokémon retail destination, with an opening currently planned by 2029.
The Pokémon Company International announced plans on October 21 for a London store offering exclusive merchandise and experiences for fans of different ages. It is intended to be the first in a new group of permanent Pokémon stores planned outside Asia.
The announcement does not give a street address, exact opening date or detailed product list. It calls the venue a Pokémon store; a final Pokémon Center branding announcement should not be assumed.
