If you’re heading into Covent Garden this week, consider this your sign to turn it into a beauty trail.
This season, we’re all things beauty and wellness at My Soho Times, and raye the store marks the perfect starting point. Armed with Julia Ferrari’s A to Z Beauty Guide, you can discover some of the area’s must-visit beauty spots along the way…

raye the store
Part pop-up, part discovery space, raye brings together over 100 brands and more than 300 products across skincare, wellness, supplements, and beyond. Curated by founder Nicole Compen, this edition focuses on intelligent skincare, functional beauty, mood-supporting formulations, and thoughtfully designed products across women’s, baby, and lifestyle categories. The space itself, designed with Studio Böreck and architectural designer Rawan Mugaddas, is a clean, contemporary backdrop for discovery, where every corner invites you to linger.
Open until Sunday 5th April, now’s the time to explore before it wraps!
