ALTERNATIVE SHOPPING AT CANARY WHARF


Canary Wharf Group today announces that it has exchanged contracts with three new retailers, all of which will be joining Canary Wharf for the first time.

Real Health TM, the alternative medicine practitioner will be taking 1,699 sq ft outlet. Blending the very best of ancient eastern philosophies and the latest western techniques, Real Health offers a uniquely wide range of natural, holistic preventative health products and luxury treatments, to achieve optimum personal well being.

Ann Johnson, Founder and Chief Executive of Real Health, said:
‘ Today’s modern lifestyle means unprecedented levels of stress and fatigue, costing UK industry massively every year. Achieving better health is a major goal for everyone, as well as a key issue for businesses. It’s for this reason that we wanted to create the best solutions for professionals in a prestigious environment like Canary Wharf and we can’t wait to move in.’

Real Health will be opening in the autumn and will be situated on the ground floor of 20 Canada Square.

Two other operators will join Canary Wharf when its 89,000 sq ft stunning new retail mall, Jubilee Place, opens in September. At 706 sq ft the David Clulow optical store will be Canary Wharf’s first dedicated designer sunglasses outlet. It promises to be the destination store for fashion-led eye-wear and offers a wide selection from the latest designer sunglasses to the most fashionable spectacle frames. David Clulow also specialises in contact lenses, including coloured and hand-painted styles.

Also joining Jubilee Place will be Hornchurch Drycleaners, which currently operates two stores at Hornchurch in Essex. It will be opening its only other branch in a 238 sq ft outlet in Jubilee Place. The high quality drycleaners specialise in delicates and evening wears and offer a range of services including tailoring, repairs, alterations and a laundry service.

Commenting on the new signings, Camille Waxer, VP of Retail, Canary Wharf Group said: ‘Real Health is a great new independent store for us, which introduces a completely new concept to Canary Wharf. I am also very happy that we will have a dedicated, smart and classy sunglasses outlet when David Clulow joins us and Hornchurch Drycleaners will provide our workers and shoppers with a competitive choice of dry cleaners on the estate.’
