Department store chain John Lewis has revealed plans to reopen its stores in England and outlines new measures to ensure safe and convenient shopping for its customers.

As part of this plan, customers can prebook timed shopping slots online at any John Lewis shop including those in Scotland and Wales, when shops reopen across England.

Bookings can be made up to 14 days in advance of their visit on johnlewis.com.

John Lewis executive director Pippa Wicks said: “We’re excited to reopen our shops in England and we’re looking forward to welcoming back our customers to help them make this Christmas extra special.
