london good stuff pop up store
At midday today (2nd March) lastminute.com opened the doors of the first 'good stuff' store in Covent Garden. Adding a touch of glamour to the event was 'Dancing on Ice' starlet and TV favourite Zoe Salmon, who, with the help of a llama (as lastminute.com offer llama trekking), opened the doors to the highly anticipated crowds queuing at the stores front doors.
The thousands of people who visited to the store today were greeted, entertained and pampered by the good stuff lastminute.com had put on for guests of the store. From performances by both West End Show La Clique and Royal Vauxhall Tavern troupe Dusty Limits, Magic Nights and Kunst to a massage treatment from the magical hands of one of Bannatynes' Sensory Spa's masseuses and even a cheese demonstration by Dominic Teague, the la Fromagerie at Andaz Hotel at Liverpool Street, everyone who entered the store got the good stuff back into their lives.
Drop by the store tomorrow (3rd March) to again get your stress relief from the Bannatynes' spas, then sit down to high tea courtesy of Bodeca from Flemings of Mayfair hotel, watch more amazing magic than pulling rabbits from hats from Magician Richard Leigh and if you're up for a rocking good time swing by the specially built stage at 6:30pm and rock your socks off with a performance from indie/folk band Noah and the Whale as they play an exclusive gig in store.
The music gig will unfortunately be the London stores final show and will see the store close its doors for the last time as lastminute.com take the store on tour to Birmingham and Manchester to share the good stuff with the rest of the UK.

zoe salmon's good stuff
TV presenter Zoe Salmon recently linked up with lastminute.com to give the UK a taste of the good stuff when it opened its first ever store in London's Covent Garden. As a former Miss Northern Ireland, these days Zoe is probably better known as the 30th Blue Peter presenter and more recently for staring in Dancing on Ice.

I was in New York over Christmas and I just adore the city. It’s most definitely a shoppers paradise - which is exactly what I did, with short intervals to catch a Broadway show or two!!

One of my favourite holidays ever was spent in the Maldives it was absolute paradise and almost too perfect for words. The hotel even had its own private infinity pool - I never wanted to leave.

I am a massive West End and Broadway fan. I even go to see the same show again if I've really enjoyed it. My favourite nights out in London are always followed by a lovely meal.
