Pop-up at Westfield London is open until November 15 and includes exclusive merchandise.

The Pokémon Center London pop-up has officially opened its doors today (Friday October 18) with a plethora of fans having queued for hours to be the first to enter the experience.

As the doors opened, fans were greeted by the London City Pikachu costume character, which is the official ‘face’ of the store.

Once inside, fans could browse a wide range of merchandise including several exclusive items only available at the pop-up.

In addition, the Pokémon experience continues outside of the pop-up store, with fans able to catch more Pokémon in Pokémon GO thanks to increased appearances around Westfield London of Psyduck, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Combee and several other Pokémon.
