London Heathrow has revealed the full line-up of shops, restaurants and bars that will be in its new Terminal 2 when it opens in June.
Among the 64 retailers are Cath Kidston, London's Pride by Fullers, Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors and a new restaurant created by four local female chefs called The Gorgeous Kitchen.
Also present will be the previously announced first air-side John Lewis (see news, July 2) and a restaurant from Heston Blumenthal (see news, November 12).
LHR's competitive two-year tender process resulted in more than five proposals for each position, more than the number of bids the airport received for its 2008 Terminal 5 opening.
Max Vialou-Clark, Heathrow's retail director said: "Terminal 2's opening will introduce Heathrow passengers to a whole new experience when they fly with us.
"From a restaurant created by Michelin-starred Heston Blumenthal to everyone's favourite, John Lewis, my team has really pushed the boundaries of what is expected from an airport."
