Cain signs two independent retail and leisure brands at London’s Islington Square

A new concept from Homeboy, the award-winning brand behind cocktail bars in Islington and Battersea, The Bottle Cocktail Shop has taken a 70 sq m unit. Following the success of its online store and listings on Amazon, The Bottle Cocktail Shop will offer a mixed-use retail and F&B concept, led by its range of ten bottled cocktails, with a focus on providing a first-class customer experience. 

Meanwhile, following the resounding success of its debut salon in Islington Square, Treat Medispa, a specialist skincare beauty salon clinic, has re-located to a larger 60 sq m unit. Combining state-of-the-art technology with tried and tested techniques at reasonable cost, Treat Medispa provides an extensive range of treatments for body and facial aesthetic needs that are structured to deliver short and long term results.

Cain’s mixed-use Islington Square provides shopping, dining, leisure, homes and workspace in one of London’s most famous cosmopolitan communities. A neighbourhood retailing destination as well as a dining hotspot, Islington Square is home to notable names such as Anthropologie, Borough Kitchen, Arlo & Jacob, APC and Duck & Dry, restaurants including Sproot, Megan’s, Jiji, Prezzo and Omnom, and leisure schemes such as a Third Space health club and an ODEON Luxe & Dine cinema. Cain also recently announced that New Meta, a new gaming concept, will launch its first physical site in Islington Square. Orme Property acted on behalf of Cain International.

“These new lettings are the latest in a long line over the past 18 months for Islington Square, despite headwinds caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s a testament to our strategy of appealing to both the local demographic and visitors from further afield that brands like The Bottle Cocktail Shop, as well as New Meta, are launching their first physical spaces here and that those like Treat Medispa are upsizing”, said Neil Barber, Retail Leasing Director at Cain International. “Innovative brands like Treat Medispa and The Bottle Cocktail Shop certainly provide our residents and visitors with something new and special, which is exactly what all our partners at Islington Square offer. Having already proven their popularity in Islington, we are delighted these independents will continue to grow their success with us.”
