Department store chain House of Fraser is no longer operating in central London after confirming the closure of its last store standing.
The retailer has closed its store in Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, one year after shutting the doors on its flagship Oxford Street location. The closest House of Fraser store to Central London is now in the Centrale shopping centre in Croydon, while it continues to operate one of the largest stores in Kent’s Bluewater.
The retailer in recent months has closed stores in Leeds, Norwich and Huddersfield, with its High Wycombe branch also set to be shuttered.
In total, House of Fraser now operates around 30 stores in the UK, half the total it had before going into administration in 2018. It was saved from administration by Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct, which was rebranded as Frasers Group following the deal.
Frasers Group last month announced a £47.5 million deal to acquire 15 brands from JD Sports, including Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green.

Supplying demand: how fashion retailers can meet the needs of customers and still be sustainable
The fashion industry is no stranger to breaking the mould and setting trends, but the pursuit of style can come at a huge cost to the environment.
New legislation, such as the European Union's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, will set mandatory minimums for the inclusion of recycled fibres in textiles, making them longer-lasting and easier to repair.
