Fashion Fans, rejoice! Urban Outfitters sister label, Free People, has finally found a place on the British high street. Popping up on Chelsea’s elite King’s Road, the boutique will play home to trademark boho dresses, tops and accessories. (We’ve got our eye on a seriously sweet pair of winter boots.) But be quick, in true London style, its doors opened as a pop-up store meaning won’t be around for long, leaving its residency in early 2016.
Pop-up shops have become increasingly popular over the past few years in the UK, opening for anything from 2 days to 2 months and beyond. So to make things a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite temporary haunts currently in London. Don’t hang around though, they won’t be there forever!
H&M Divided
The UK’s favourite high street store has spent its summer showcasing its Divided collection at a six-week long pop-up in East London. As well as treating yourself to a new outfit, the pop-up also allows you to enjoy DJ sets, complimentary manicures and a spot of jewellery designing.

Made up of stripped out shipping containers, Boxpark is home to hundreds of independent brands, restaurants and bars who take on short-term lets. It’s a hub in the community and with a new brands popping up (quite literally) every week, you’ll always find something you like.
