“Plans for this exciting 30,000sq ft space are well underway and we’ll be working round the clock to bring West London customers our unique mix of incredible products at amazing prices,” the company said.
TK Maxx has 58 shops in London and recently started a search for more sites in the capital city.
The expansion comes after the company grappled with Covid-19 lockdowns and soaring energy bills.
Unibail leasing director UK, Kate Orwin said: “The latest letting is hot on the heels of a string of global retailers taking new or larger spaces at the centre.
“More exciting signings will soon be unveiled for this part of the centre as we continue to transform our spaces and bring customers the best retail, dining and leisure mix.”
TK Maxx is taking part of the space previously used by Debenhams, the department store chain that disappeared from the UK’s high streets during the pandemic.
