John Lewis Bluewater is the retailer’s stellar performer in a record-breaking run to Christmas.

Latest figures show that takings at the Bluewater store are 23 per cent ahead of last year at the same time.

It leads flagship John Lewis outlets such as Oxford Street (up 19 per cent) and Sloane Square’s Peter Jones (up 16 per cent).
