The UK's high streets have already seen tens of thousands of closures, but experts are warning that more are almost certainly still to come, including the demise of some major household names
UK high streets face continued closures due to online competition, high rents, and falling consumer spending. Over 13,000 shops closed in the past year, with experts predicting up to 17,350 more closures this year, particularly among independent retailers. Major chains like New Look, Select Fashion, Monki, Quiz Clothing, WHSmith, Homebase, and major banks are closing stores.
