Retail & Leisure
Our work in the retail and storefront sector is rooted not only in deep market knowledge, but in a genuine commitment to shaping the kind of retail environment that allows tenants, landlords, and the wider neighbourhood as a whole to thrive.
London's streetscape has changed significantly over the past several years.
Our spiritual home Fitzrovia epitomises this. We’re no longer fighting outdated planning restrictions which stifled our neighbourhood, and Fitzrovia is now seeing stronger footfall as retail and leisure have evolved, with storefront parades becoming far more dynamic and engaging.
As a result, shops and restaurants have become both lucrative and rewarding investments for landlords – provided there is a considered approach to occupier selection, and a sensible balance between rental levels and a tenant’s ability to trade successfully.
We are increasingly seeing a more short-term approach from some agencies, where units are filled quickly without sufficient thought given to longevity or contribution to the area.
Whilst this may secure a deal in the moment, it often fails to support either landlords or tenants in the long run.
Our philosophy is different. We see good agency as more than simply completing a transaction.
It is about curating value, building long-term relationships, and positively contributing to the streets we help shape.
Over time, this approach supports stronger rental growth and can also enhance the performance and value of upper floor residential and office accommodation.
While this is particularly relevant in Fitzrovia, our experience extends across Central London – from Notting Hill through to Farringdon and beyond.
