Location

This property is in a prominent location on the West side of the street at the junction with Little Portland Street. Oxford Circus (2 mins, Bakerloo, Central and Victoria) and Great Portland Street (8 mins, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan) Underground Stations are within a few minutes walking distance.

Fitzrovia is considered one of the main West End office sub-markets and has experienced significant growth and regeneration in recent years, with notable developments such as The BBC HQ, Fitzroy Place, and Great Portland Estate's renovation of the former Post Office site at Rathbone Place.

The neighbourhood is home to an abundance of restaurants, designer hotels, and luxury boutiques, and has recently gained traction as a hub for the TMT sector, attracting renowned office occupiers such as Sony, Facebook, MTV, Lionsgate Films, and The British Film Industry. Market Place, situated at the rear of the property, has become a popular destination for bars and restaurants, as well as an established retail location with valuable outside seating due to its widened pavements. Some of the popular local occupiers include Côte Brasserie, Coppa Club, Carluccio's, Yoobi, Honest Burger, and Market Place Bar.
