Whittard of Chelsea was founded in 1886 by Walter Whittard, who opened a small tea shop in London’s Fleet Street. 

Speaking ahead of the shop’s grand opening, Steve Flanagan, Marketing & Product Director at Whittard of Chelsea, said: "We’re delighted to bring our brand-new look to Nottingham with the opening of our store at Victoria Centre. 

“We look forward to sharing our extensive range of high-quality tea, coffee, and hot chocolate with local shoppers, especially during the festive season."
