SPYSCAPE will occupy c.25,000sq ft at 45 Wellington Street and is set to open later this month.

William Oliver, retail leasing director at Shaftesbury Capital said: “Covent Garden continues to set the standard for a truly multifaceted experience, and the addition of SPYSCAPE’s unique immersive experience will complement our high-calibre, varied line-up of retail, leisure and F&B brands.”
John Hunt, founder and CEO at SPYSCAPE added: “Our mission at SPYSCAPE is to inspire ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things, through personalised content and immersive experiences. Having welcomed over one million visitors to our Manhattan location, we believe Covent Garden’s vibrant cultural scene and central location make it the ideal setting to expand our efforts and engage an even broader international audience.”
