The Pokémon Center pop-up store returns to London in August

After the success of 2019's Westfield Shepherds Bush Pokémon Center, the pop-up store is once again coming to London alongside the Pokémon World Championships. The store will be only be open from August 17-21, so there's a small window for fans to visit.

While previously the Pokémon Center pop-up store stuck around for a few weeks, this time around it will only be open for a few days. The pop-up was originally going to return in 2020, one year after its initial appearance, but due to the pandemic, plans to bring it back had to be delayed.

With the pandemic under control, the Pokémon Center pop-up store is returning to London alongside the Pokémon World Championships. Both the store and the tournament will be at ExCeL London from August 17–21.

In the store, fans will be able to find exclusive merch, photo opportunities, and themed areas (possibly from Pokémon Scarlett and Violet). In addition, there will be advance timeslot reservations and a virtual queuing system for walk-ups. If you can't visit the pop-up store to get official Pokémon merch, you can always go to the Pokémon Center UK official site and see what they have there.
