THURROCK now has its own branch of Harrods! – Well sort of…

H beauty will house more than 80 premium and luxury brands such Charlotte Tilbury, Chanel, La Prairie, Huda Beauty, YSL Beauty, Balmain Hair, Tom Ford and more, in a 23,000 sq foot located by House of Fraser.

Annalise Fard, director of beauty, fine jewellery & watches and home at Harrods said: "As Harrods' very first beauty specialist retail space, H beauty is going to be a significant addition to the beauty landscape and will be a game-changing destination, beauty emporium offering experience, make-up, skin care, hair care and fragrance."

A Click & Collect service will also be available from late September for customers who shop online at Harrods.com, where they can receive and try on their parcels in the changing rooms, and finish their experience at The Champagne Bar, a social space to sit, sip and celebrate with friends from a menu of patisserie and cocktails created by Harrods leading food and beverage team.

Howard Oldstein, Centre Director at intu Lakeside said: "To have intu Lakeside become part of the Harrods history through H beauty is fantastic. I am certain that H beauty will be an amazing addition to our already incredible beauty offering here at the centre, we're now firmly the 'go-to' destination for beauty in the South East.

"It really strengthens the already great brand mix at intu Lakeside which provides a place for visitors to shop, dine and play without the need to travel into the capital."
