Adjacent to this café is a RE.UNIQLO Studio for customers to repair, recycle or even remake their UNIQLO items.

The Covent Garden store also has some exclusive UTme! designs offered by UNIQLO in partnership with UK’s London institution Transport for London (TfL).

The collection includes the iconic roundel and tube map designs along with other others inspired by heritage posters.

TfL brand licensing manager Ellen Sankey said: “London Underground celebrates its 160th birthday this year and the roundels and artwork that have adorned the walls of our Tube network are as much a part of that history as the transport itself.”
