About the Store

The Brunswick store is situated in a unique pedestrianised courtyard shopping precinct in the Bloomsbury area of London, near a large Waitrose which attracts a high footfall.

It boasts 3 optical test rooms and 1 dedicated audiology room, all fitted out with the latest clinical technology. A team of 11 dedicated and experienced colleagues call this store home. This includes 4 full-time and 3 part-time retailers, 3 resident optometrists, and 1 pre-reg.

Store Location

Bloomsbury, an affluent area in the West End of London, houses several cultural, intellectual, and educational institutions such as University College London, The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA), and the British Museum. There's lots of green areas and gardens in the vicinity as well as plenty of upmarket coffee shops and restaurants. There are excellent transport links, Russell Square tube station on the Piccadilly Line is just 20 yards from the store. Euston station and Kings Cross/St Pancras stations are just over half a mile walk, and there's an NCP car park that services the Brunswick shopping centre.
