They commissioned a special survey, which showed more than one third of adults are excited about browsing the shops once again.

Shortly after the re-opening, Harrods will open up its H Beauty store in the former House of Fraser premises.

This will Harrods' biggest luxury beauty concept store to date, say centre:mk bosses. It will offer range of

amenities including a luxury coffee-to-cocktail bar, blow-dry bar and in-store beauty treatment facilities.

There is also the Love Local Hub, a new pilot store of a national project created to help budding
