While it might seem unusual to have to request permission to access a store, London's LN-CC STORE is not just any retail space. Not only does the shop feature high-end amenities such as a library, gallery and bar, but the Instagram-worthy decor is a must-see for design-lovers attending Trend Hunter’s London innovation conference.
The LN-CC STORE -- which is short for 'Late Night Chameleon Café' -- is a luxury boutique carrying high-end brands such as Rick Owens, Acne and Valentino. While the entrance to the store is fairly nondescript, once customers enter the space they will find themselves inside a cavernous wooden tunnel covered with beautiful acrylic accents. The rest of the store features similar avant-garde decor, which decorates the gallery, cafe, library and record shop housed inside.
While this high-end boutique is certainly worth the trek, guests will have to email the store in advance to request a personalized appointment.
