A permanent Pokémon retail store is coming to London, the first of several planned to open outside Asia

The Pokémon Company has announced that a permanent, physical Pokémon store will open in London by 2029. This location represents the first of several stores planned to open outside Asia. While not officially called a Pokémon Center, the retail space will provide a variety of exclusive merchandise and one-of-a-kind experiences for Trainers of all ages. This development follows years of temporary pop-up shops appearing at events like the European International Championships for fans in the region.
