Space NK

Space NK is a British beauty retailer with a store on Neal Street, the pedestrianised shopping street that runs from Long Acre towards Seven Dials. Known for its curated selection of skincare, makeup and fragrance brands, it brings together a wide range of established and emerging beauty names under one roof, which makes it a practical stop for comparing houses.

The store carries a curated mix of skincare, makeup and fragrance from many brands, spanning cult favourites and newer arrivals rather than a single house. Staff advise across the range and help you compare products from different brands, and testers let you try before buying. The edited selection means you can explore several names in one visit rather than moving between separate shops, which is useful for putting together a routine or finding a new favourite. A loyalty scheme rewards returning customers.

A multi-brand beauty store on Neal Street

Neal Street is lined with fashion and lifestyle shops and is one of the area's busiest routes, a short walk from Covent Garden Underground station and the piazza. The Space NK store sits among this run, so it is easy to combine with other stops, and the single-brand boutiques of Aesop Seven Dials on Monmouth Street and Charlotte Tilbury on James Street are both a few minutes away.

What to expect on a visit

Opening hours run from 10am until 7.30pm Monday to Saturday and from midday until 6pm on Sundays. The multi-brand curation makes it the place to compare products across houses in one place before committing. See the full list of Covent Garden beauty and cosmetics shops.
