The entertainment retailer vacated the site in 2019 after new owner Doug Putman, who saved the business from collapse, was unable to strike a deal with the store landlord.
Putman said: “I want our stores to be at the heart of a community of music and film fans and a place where they can not only satisfy their passion, they can also meet each other and discover new artists as well as see some of the biggest names in the business perform.
“363 Oxford Street is a homecoming for the brand and a clear statement about the strength of hmv, of London as a shopping destination and the state of music in the UK, so I can’t wait to welcome the fans through our doors.”
