Passed by biscuiteersltd yesterday in Notting Hill on my way back from viewings in North London. Always loved that shop...the kind of windows that makes you smile!!! 😊

I recently spoke about the shift we are seeing on the UK high street. Even before the pandemic, large high street retailers were struggling with their operating costs, high rental and business rate, as consumer behaviour was changing to favour shopping online which some retailers were simply not geared up to cope with. The pandemic only further cemented these habits.
 
As a result, we are seeing the emergence of more independent boutiques and small retailers in town centres and high streets across the country, taking over the retail spaces that the big names can no longer sustain. In the food and drink sector those are breweries, bakeries and artisan food producers setting up shops, which are offering the best of both worlds by providing click-and-collect, and delivery services which further expand their brand into fresh markets.
 
The long-term future of the UK high street remains to be seen, but a retailer’s ability to adapt and evolve with the times will be key to survival.
