British Land has leased a 5,300 square foot unit at its Nugent Shopping Park in Orpington, Kent, to Metro Bank.
The real estate group said that the deal makes "good use" of the relaxation in planning policy earlier in the year, which allowed the change of use from retail classifications A1 to A2.
The signing follows recent lettings at the 115,000 square foot, 22-unit park to Card Factory and pop-up restaurant concept Pizza1889.
"Metro Bank is an excellent addition to Nugent Shopping Park's mix and will be a welcome community amenity, providing consumers with a seven daybanking facility to meet their busy schedules," said Edward Cree, senior asset manager for British Land.
"The letting is part of our continued focus on creating well managed environments with a broad, convenient and high quality tenant line up."
Other occupiers at Nugent include Debenhams, M&S, Next, Clarks, Hobbycraft, Waterstones, Nando's and Costa.
