John Lewis Store to Remain Closed

The Tunbridge Wells store will not re-open.

John Lewis has confirmed that the Tunbridge Wells store on North Farm, will remain closed permanently.

Although reported several weeks ago, final confirmation has been announced on the fate of the out-of-town store.

Tunbridge Wells is not alone, as stores across the country will remain closed, including Ashford, York, Basingstoke, and Aberdeen.

The partner-owned business has struggled with the pandemic, resulting in multiple store closures.
