The pop-up Pokémon Center coming to London, UK will be opening in just two days' time, and if you're as keen on Pikachu and pals as we are, you're probably going to want to head on over to the capital for a visit. Before you do, though, let's take a look at some of the exclusive items you can expect to find.
The following three items have been confirmed to be making an appearance at the store and won't be available anywhere else. There's a Pokémon London City Pin badge featuring Pikachu, a set of Pokémon Trading Card Game London City Sleeves (60 are included), and a London City Playmat featuring Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Mew.
Those trading card sleeves are absolutely adorable. And can London please get that Groudon bus hiding in the background of the image?
The store will be open to the public from 18th October until 15th November and is located at Westfield London, Ariel Way, Shepherd’s Bush, W12 7GF. An exclusive London City Pikachu plush was also revealed last month.
Are you planning on visiting the UK's first ever Pokémon Center? Are you already dreading how much your bank balance is about to deplete? Share your excitement and misery with us in the comments below.

I'll be there, morning of day 1! Hope to see some of you guys there!
I was thinking of going this weekend, but if these are the only exclusives, I may not bother. Hopefully there’s more than just these.
That pin is cool, and I would like the plush. But I won't be going. It's too expensive for me to get there just for one shop
I’ll check it out, hopefully in the weekends. Not a Pokemon fan but I’m sure the kids will pick something they like.
My boys are currently obsessed with Pokemon (thanks Go!) so I’m taking them there this Saturday!
I /am/ dreading the bank balance, but not because of this shop. I’m also gonna attempt to pick up an iPhone 11 Pro without the wife finding out how much it really costs.
Wish me luck.
Wait how come Umbreon Aint in there..
Pokémon Center "London" but Pokémon "London City"? Who named that? lol
Also is it just me, or does that sleeve art look like Regent Street, near Piccadilly Circus...
@ShinyUmbreon There's one looking out a second-floor window~
And none for NA. What gives...
Cool but I bet they will be overpriced.
Walk past here every day more or less (don’t go looking for me) so I’ll inevitably be paying a visit. Hoping they have plenty of stock and keep the shelves full, I plan on getting something for the hell of it!
Can't London get a Nintendo Store instead? I don't mind Pokèmon but am a much bigger Zelda and Mario fan.
Going on november 9th. Daytrip to London, from Breda, Netherlands, just to wait hours in line to buy a single pluche? Yep.
Heck, if this store does not do well like the New York Pokemon Center from ages ago, maybe it might become another Nintendo World Store someday?
"The store will be open to the public from 18th October until 15th November"
Wait, it's a temporary thing? They're putting all this effort into a store that will only exist for a month? I'm glad I live in Japan! The ones here, yes, there are several, are all permanent and open year round!
@Heavyarms55 thought the same, like its a lot of effort and money to set up a store for one month and then puff, gone.
@Heavyarms55 pop-up shops are quite a trendy thing at the moment
Have been told it's a 9+ hour wait, with people in the queue planning on staying overnight to get in tomorrow morning. There's demo booths for Sword/Shield, which is one of the reasons why the queue is long.
