Fashion retailer Monsoon has announced the opening of its latest boutique store, at 290 Upper Street, Islington, N1 2XF.

After the successful launch of boutique locations in Bath, Edinburgh and Cambridge over the last year, Monsoon continues the expansion of its boutique portfolio with the London opening on Friday, 16 June.

In line with Monsoon’s strategy to open elevated retail spaces in London’s ‘villages’ and select market towns, the shop has a prominent position on one of Islington’s best retail streets.

Adorned with artisan wall hangings and framed artwork, the beautiful red-brick building – a former pub – will offer a calm space in which customers can discover the full range of Monsoon’s women’s collections. It is the second London opening in as many months for Monsoon, after the launch of a Monsoon Vintage pop-up on Portobello Road in early May to celebrate the brand’s 50th anniversary.
