Southampton: Russell & Bromley letting is a shoe-in at Westquay

The new 2,357 sq ft store will offer Russell & Bromley’s full range of luxury footwear and handbags for women and men when it opens in May.

The store will sit alongside existing aspirational retailers John Lewis and Dune on the lower floor of the 800,000 sq ft shopping centre, which is jointly owned by Hammerson and Singapore's GIC.

Hammerson's adjacent dining and leisure development, Westquay Watermark, completed earlier this year, which introduced 20 new restaurants to Southampton, including Wahaca, Red Dog Saloon and Franco Manca.

Iain Mitchell, UK commercial director, said “We are delighted to have secured Russell & Bromley for the centre as the brand makes its return to Southampton, a very fitting addition to the strong retail line-up at Westquay. This signing is testament to the appeal of the both the city and the scheme itself, which has succeeded in attracting a great mix of aspirational and high street brands in recent years.”
