Recent footfall data from Huq Industries highlights nuanced trends in footfall, dwell time, and weekday visitation across various UK regions for High Streets and Town Centres.
As of the week ending September 8, 2024, London shows a notable increase in average daily footfall year-on-year contrasting with a general decline in regions like the East Midlands, which saw a significant drop. This reflects typical end of school holiday footfall dynamics.
Dwell times have generally increased, with Wales experiencing a strong year-on-year increase, indicating longer visits. However, the North East saw a sharp decline in dwell time compared to the previous year.
Weekday visitation shares also varied, with the East Midlands seeing an increase year-on-year, while Scotland experienced a sizeable drop.
