Animate Pop-Up Store to Open in London this October

A report on AnimeNewsNetwork has revealed that the Japanese retailer Animate, otherwise known as Animate Ltd, will open a pop-up store in London this October.

The pop-up store will open in late October at London Waterloo Station, in The Sidings located underneath Platforms 20 – 24. Specific opening details and expected items being stocked have not yet been confirmed, but it is reported to open late in October (personally I hope it opens the same weekend as MCM Comic Con).

For those unfamiliar Animate is a range of stores in Japan that sell anime entertainment and merchandise, such as figures, badges, plushies, and T-Shirts, with the Animate store in Ikebukuro being awarded the world’s largest anime store in 2024 by the Guinness World Record.

Animate also has other stores in China, America, and South Korea, but this pop-up store in Waterloo (London) will be the first one to open in the UK. Those interested in learning more about Animate, can visit the official website.
