As we first revealed in July, Lidl indicated its intentions to take over the site, units 1-2 vacated by Morrisons last November, by applying to H&F Council for a premises licence.

A month later the council showed its approval, saying idl was "poised to announce it will the anchor retailer in the shopping centre" and adding that the anticipated announcement had been welcomed by other retailers in the centre as well as residents.

In September the German supermarket chain officially announced it will be moving in, with Shane O’Farrell, regional head of property at Lidl UK, saying: “We are delighted to be opening a new store in Shepherd’s Bush, which marks another milestone in our ambitious store expansion programme.

"We’ve seen incredible demand for Lidl stores across the country and look forward to offering our quality products and incredible value to shoppers in the near future."

The news follows the company's announcement in May that it was hunting for suitable sites across London.

At the time, regional property director Richard Taylor said: “We have extremely ambitious plans for our London expansion and aim to open as many stores as possible each year."
