Boots have switched to paper carrier bags which look lovely:

Also, a new concept store has opened in Covent Garden, and the internal signs use the "Since 1849" font rather than VAG Rounded.

Looks like a christmassy mash up between Primark and Holland & Barrett.

Looks all good, apart from the last image. I think the light boxes and foliage look quite dated. Also, those leaves will look even worse when they are inevitably covered in dust.

Dust was my first thought too. I have a feeling they're real plants though as this store in particular is going for an eco-friendly vibe.

They'll be dead within 2 years then.

Not sure if that's better or worse than the plastic'y shit that was popular in food courts in the 90s.

I was going to say, it looks very Wimpy early 90s.

Couldn't beat a fake plant and a water feature in a shopping centre in the 90s!
