Autonomous checkout retail continues its expansion across the globe. Amazon Go is reportedly opening its grab-and-go, self-service shopping at a London location. Amazon has been steadily opening C-store sized stores in the U.S. since its first one opened to the public in Seattle in early 2018.

Since then, there are over 25 Amazon Go shops, as well as a few larger version Amazon Go Grocery stores which range over 10,000 sq. ft. Autonomous checkout is not new to Europe as other tech developers including AiFi and Trigo are partnering with retailers such as Wundermart and Tesco across the continent. Expect to see more autonomous stores as self-service shopping will still be in favor post-pandemic.

The following excerpt from a Pocket-lint article reports more on the topic:

According to multiple sources, Amazon is set to reveal its first Amazon Go store in the UK this week. The store seems to be located on The Broadway in Ealing, West London and used to be a Monsoon store. Planning documents show that Amazon applied for permission to put up signage in November. 

At the end of 2018, it was suggested that Amazon had settled on a location in London’s Oxford Circus. A subsequent 2019 report by trade publication The Grocer suggested a site had been confirmed, but not a location. 

Another report a year ago suggested that the first UK store would be on the site of an old bookshop in Notting Hill, London near Notting Hill Gate Underground station. 

The latest report emerged in the Mail on Sunday, which suggested that Amazon was planning up to 30 UK stores and was doing so under a partnership with Morrisons. Amazon already works with Morrisons to provide Amazon Fresh in the UK.
