Despite the Pokémon Center London being extremely popular with hours long queues to get in and merchandise selling out daily, the pop-up location closed as scheduled on November 15th, 2019. Many people have suggested that they keep it open as a permanent location. The Pokémon Company did announce though that a new store will open for the 2020 Pokémon World Championships.

POP UP POKÉMON CENTER RETURNING TO LONDON AT THE 2020 POKÉMON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Following the success of the recent Pokémon Center London pop up store at Westfield London that saw more than 30,000 visitors over its four-week opening, fans will have another opportunity to purchase a range of Pokémon merchandise thanks to a new store on the site for the duration of the 2020 Pokémon World Championships.

Taking place in London next summer at a venue yet to be announced, the Pokémon World Championships is the premier tournament for Pokémon video games and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
