The first Arket store that was opened outside London will be closing down.

The fashion and lifestyle brand, which is owned by the H&M Group, will be shutting its Bluewater store, in Greenhithe.

It first opened in 2018, and the company describes itself as a 'modern-day market and lifestyle destination' that offers products for men, woman, children and the home.

The Bluewater branch, which is the only one in Kent, also has a Nordic vegetarian café inside.

A spokesman for Arket said: "We are focussing on integrating our digital and physical stores providing an enhanced omnichannel experience for our customers.

"Reviewing our store portfolio making sure we have stores in the right locations across all our markets is something we do continuously.

"We have therefore made the difficult but necessary decision to close Arket Bluewater store."

The shop will close on November 20.
