The West End has got off to a strong start to Christmas with sales up 12% on last year and 16% on pre-pandemic levels, one of its biggest landlords said today.
In a trading update Shaftesbury Capital, which owns properties across Soho, Covent Garden and Chinatown, said levels of footfall remained high despite the cost of living squeeze. The company was created last year through the merger of Capco, which is the dominant landlord in Covent Garden, and Shaftesbury, which has a large Soho estate.
