A beauty salon and spa could be coming to a shopping centre in Romford.
A planning application has been submitted to Havering Council to change the use of a retail unit in the Liberty Shopping Centre.
The application has been put forward by Beautifly Salon & Spa for the two-floor premises in Laurie Walk.
A supporting document said the unit was previously leased by Abacus Children's Store Ltd, but is understood to have been vacant for "several months".
The applicant is bidding to open a salon and spa featuring manicure, hair and beauty stations, as well as a sunbed and spray tan station.
There are also two beauty rooms and a Turkish bath facility planned for the upper floor.
A supporting statement said "personal services" that cannot be done online could attract people back to town centres.

A decision on the application is due by October 28.
