Waterstones to relocate centrally in The Elmsleigh Centre

Waterstones has announced that they will relocate their bookshop this summer from Staines High Street to an enviable central location at The Elmsleigh Centre, opposite Primark.

The move will allow Waterstones to invest in a brand-new, bright and easy to navigate bookshop, thoughtfully curated to their local customers’ interests.

Bookshop Manager, Kelly Hides, said: "Waterstones has been an intrinsic part of Staines for many years. Our friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable booksellers enjoy offering heartfelt recommendations, hosting events and signings, and providing a haven for booklovers of all ages. We are extremely excited for this new chapter, and to continue serving the community that has loyally supported us over the years."

Gary Little, Centre Manager of Elmsleigh Shopping Centre said: "We are very excited to be supporting the Waterstones relocation into the central mall at The Elmsleigh Centre.  This major brand has supported the local community for many years and is a valuable asset in our retailer mix. There is currently no confirmed opening date, but we are working with Waterstones on a launch plan to benefit the people of Staines-upon-Thames and surrounding areas.”

Waterstones’ relocation has provided the opportunity for an exciting new retailer to join us in Staines-upon-Thames. The bookshop will open later in 2025.
