Habitat joins line up at X-Leisure’s O2 Centre

X-Leisure is delighted to announce the letting of 11,500 sq ft to the UK’s leading furniture retailer Habitat. The store is expected to open later this year.

Habitat is relocating from its existing unit 300 yards away on the Finchley Road. X-Leisure had created the large store through a reconfiguration of space previously occupied by Pizza Hut and Old Orleans from whom surrenders were taken.

The O2 Centre is a pre-eminent family destination with a comprehensive retail and leisure offer including Sainsbury’s, Homebase, Books etc, Starbucks, Vue Cinema, Esporta & Gymboree Play and Music. Restaurants and bars located at the O2 Centre compliment this family-friendly mix, comprising Nandos, Walkabout, China Red, Yo Sushi, Zucatto, Cumin, Fine Burger & Wetherspoons.

P Y Gerbeau, Chief Executive of X-Leisure comments: ‘Habitat is a fantastic addition to the tenant mix at the O2 Centre and another success in our strategy to add vibrancy and diversity to our retail offer. The deal underlines the O2 Centre as one of the UK’s premier family retail and entertainments destinations in the UK."
