History

The first location for Dover Street Market was in London in the former Burberry building erected in 1912 by Thomas Burberry. The Dover Street Market building at 17–18 Dover Street became the home of Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in May 1950; Dover Street Market relocated to The Mall in 1968. In March 19, 2016, Dover Street Market moved to Haymarket (South Piccadilly)[6] due to financial reasons.[3]

Locations

Locations outside London include Dover Street Market Ginza[7] opened in 2006 in Tokyo, Dover Street Market New York[8] opened in 2013 in Manhattan in the New York School of Applied Design building at 160 Lexington Avenue,[2] in Singapore in 2017 [9], and a franchise in Beijing.[10]

The London, Tokyo and New York stores all have a Rose Bakery café,[2] created by Rose Carrarini and her husband Jean Charles.
