This Sports Direct shop on London's Oxford
Street occupies a building that was originally a
branch of F W Woolworth & Co. The site
was occupied from 1880 until 1930 by the Royal
Princess Theatre before it was demolished to
make way for this building. Since
Woolworths left in the mid 1980s, the store has
had a number of occupants. Prior to Sports
Direct it was a flagship store for HMV.
