About

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a successful, fully operational coffee and food business in one of Central London’s most sought-after locations. The unit is located near the Barbican, benefiting from a mix of residential, office, and cultural foot traffic throughout the week.

The premises are tastefully fitted and include a barista station, customer seating area, and kitchen facilities suitable for both eat-in and takeaway service. The business currently operates with a strong local following and consistent trade, with scope for further growth.

The lease is available by way of assignment, with a passing rent of £33,000 per annum. A premium of £135,000 is sought for the business goodwill, equipment, and high-quality fit-out.

The new London Museum will be positioned very close by in West Smithfield and is set to open in 2026.
