Footfall in UK retail destinations rose by 4.1% last week against the week before, marking a “significant” acceleration in the prior week’s rise of 0.8%, and 1.8% rise in the same week last year.
According to the latest data from Springboard, this was largely driven by rises in footfall of 6.8% in Greater London and 7.1% in the South East.
This also marked a reversal of the previous week when footfall declined in these two regions, and a “far stronger” performance than the same week last year when footfall only rose by 1.6% in Greater London and 2.2% in the South East.
According to Springboard, these two regions “generate a far greater volume of footfall than elsewhere”, which meant that last week’s results ended with footfall 30.7% lower than the year before, a “noticeable improvement” from an annual drop of 32.5% reported the week prior.
Shopping centres were a “clear winner” however, with a week-on-week increase of 7.1% against a rise of 3.2% in high streets and 2.7% in retail parks.
Diane Wehrle, insights director at Springboard, said: “It seems that the increased quarantine measures imposed last week on a number of overseas destinations are having a positive impact on UK footfall.
“Footfall in UK retail destinations last week not only rose on a week on week basis, but the uplift was more than four times as large as the week before, and two and a half times as large as the same week last year.”
She added: “The outcome is a further incremental recovery in footfall compared with 2019, and the sixteenth consecutive week in which the annual decline has lessened which offers a glimmer of hope for retailers.”
