Located centrally on the main street of Longyearbyen, Lompensenteret is a natural meeting place for people in Svalbard. In addition, Svalbard is located in a VAT-free area, which makes Lompensenteret an attractive centre for tourists. The name has been kept from the time when the building housed changing rooms, a café and laundry for miners, whose work clothes were called lomp in Norwegian. The building has been upgraded several times and underwent a complete renovation in 2018/2019.
