Now, new hoardings have gone up outside a unit on the lower ground floor near the old Boss shop, which advertise the new opticians’ arrival.

Clare Martin, acting centre director at Westgate Oxford, said: “David Clulow’s new store will offer an unrivalled eye care experience for guests, alongside a stunning assortment of frames and sunglasses from notable designer brands.

“We look forward to sharing more details about the brand’s opening in due course.”

David Clulow will be celebrating its new opening with special events as well as luxury goods on offer, with more details to be released soon.

The impending introduction of the store is the latest in a long line of recent Westgate comings and goings in recent weeks.

Shoe chain Russell & Bromley has departed its ground-floor store, leaving the unit empty, after the brand fell into administration.

Similarly, Claire’s has also closed at the Westgate after the beauty and accessory brand also collapsed into administration.

This month, the new Lego store will open on the ground floor, with trading startig on Thursday, May 7.

Oliver Bonas also recently moved from its home on the ground floor to a much larger unit on the middle floor, near the Queen Street and Bonn Square entrance.
