In Pictures: Lush opens new Covent Garden flagship with second London spa

Lush has opened its new flagship in London's Covent Garden, offering the brand’s fresh, handmade cosmetics and 12 different spa treatments.

Located at 12-14 Long Acre, the new store features Lush's signature haircare, skincare and bodycare products, including a curated collection of previously discontinued products from the archives loved by the shop team.

It marks the brand's return to Covent Garden after 11 years away, having previously operated a shop in this location from 1998-2013.

In addition, nestled below the shop floor is the Lush Spa, where six spa therapists will offer a selection of treatments, including sound baths, massages, facials, yoga, and more, ranging from £45-£275.

The Lush Spa concept launched in 2009. With 19 locations around the world, Covent Garden is second London location for the Lush Spa – joining the spa on Oxford Street, which opened in 2015.

It sits on the lower floor of the new store, which is also home to Lush Parties, free skin, makeup and hair consultations and exclusive products.

Sophie Watson, Shop and Spa Manager at Lush Covent Garden, said: "We are beyond excited to make our return to the centre of entertainment and spectacle in London, Covent Garden.

"Our talented team of daymakers are passionate to showcase the incredible services, products and experiences we have to offer. From engaging product demonstrations and exclusives, fresh bouquets to make your day, or transformative spa experiences - we’re ready to bring a little magic and wonder to Covent Garden."

Since establishing in 1995, Lush has been driven by innovation and its ethics. Creators of pioneering beauty products, one of Lush’s most well-known creations is the bath bomb.

Invented in 1989 by Lush Co-founder Mo Constantine in her garden shed, bath bombs have become a global sensation – all hand pressed in the brand's own manufacturing sites across the world, Lush sold over 21.2 million last year.

Today, Lush operates in 50 countries with over 850 shops, 38 websites shipping worldwide and a global network of native apps, broadcasting channels and digital communities in over 30 languages.
