Soho eh? The sometime sleazy seductress sitting smoothly in the
very heart of London's West End the, er, that'll do.
Of course, the one thing that's been missing recently has been a
full blown outdoor store, which presumably is why YHA Adventure Shops
has chosen to open a new flagship store in Wardour Street - see
map - which is claimed to be 'the largest city centre outdoor
store in the UK.'
The new branch will be open for business from 8 November and is
said to be almost twice the size of the recently closed Covent Garden
store. There are going to be over 3000 product lines, a travel
agents, vaccination clinic, ski workshop, bike workshop and 'an
extensive information centre'.
Other features include a purpose-built 'boot-testing area on one
of the balconies, a web centre where you can order additional
products.
YHA also say that there will be a multitude of special offers from
leading brands and the chance to win a trip to Morocco.
YHA Adventure are also in the process of redoing its web
site with a revamped online store promised soon.
