Three cafes in central London brought to market through Christie & Co

Fulham Tarts, a portfolio of three modern cafés situated across central London, has been brought to the market through specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co.

Fulham Tarts focuses its offering on fresh ingredients and healthy foods at affordable prices. All three sites are fully equipped, fitted to a high standard throughout and benefit from A1 planning use with alcohol licences.

Established in 2015, the first location is nestled on a side street near Gloucester Road, surrounded by retail businesses and benefitting from high levels of footfall. The café maintains seating for 20 covers, as well as pavement seating to the front of the property. 



The second Fulham Tarts site was opened the following year along the busy Battersea Bridge Road. Occupying the ground and basement floors of a multi storey terraced building, the café offers food-to-go options toward the front of the store, with seating for 30 covers to the rear. In addition to internal storage and an office, a commercial kitchen on the basement floor offers potential to be used as the primary preparation and baking area for all three sites. 

The third café in Westminster occupies the ground floor of a luxury residential development, Riverwalk, situated along Millbank on the River Thames, and near Chelsea College of Art, Tate Britain and Riverside Walk Gardens. Although the site is currently closed, it is fully equipped and ready to begin trading immediately. 

Stewart Harkness, Associate Director at Christie & Co is handling the sale and comments, “Fulham Tarts presents a superb opportunity to obtain three well positioned sites in busy central London locations, all of which present great potential for an experienced operator to benefit from the modern fit outs – and for a very small up-front premium!    

“The café market in London is thriving with many new individual operators setting up from vacant premises in busy high street locations, but then having to spend anywhere between £50,000 and £150,000 for a new fit out, and that’s before they open their doors! This opportunity is therefore undeniably a great entrance or expansion for an operator in central London.”

Christie & Co is inviting offers in excess of £75,000 for the leasehold interest of the entire portfolio.
