// The space will maximise its market share within inner-London, just in time for the Christmas shopping season
JD Sports is set to return to Hammersmith after a decade with a new 4,000 sq ft at Livat Hammersmith this weekend.
The sportswear giant will open its new branch on King Street and the store will house big-name brands including Nike, Adidas, The North Face, Hoodrich and more.
All of these are featured in JD’s 2022 star-studded Christmas ad featuring West London native Central Cee and boxing champion Anthony Joshua.
The King Street store expects to welcome 35 million visitors per year, thanks to its location between two prominent London Underground stations and a bus station at Hammersmith Broadway.
