Once called Lower Street, Islington’s Essex Road has emerged from the shadow of neighbouring Upper Street as its very own cool hub of independent shops, eateries and bars, as well as longstanding businesses such as Get Stuffed taxidermists and Steve Hatt Fishmongers. With high ceilings, parquet flooring and wood-lined walls, this corner retail space to let is beautifully decorated and laid out over the ground and lower ground floors.
Design-lovers and Islington’s well-heeled residents shop for one-off fittings and vintage furniture at The Architectural Forum next door but one, and the neighbouring café attracts a lunchtime crowd. The Tesco Express over the road sees a steady stream of customers all week round, but evenings and weekends are the busiest times here as the likes of The Lord Clyde gastropub up the road fill up with drinkers and diners. It’s a five-minute walk to Essex Road station.
Your direct neighbour will be My Favourite Café, next door but one is the treasure trove that is The Architectural Forum. Over the road is an interior design showroom and a Tesco Express.
There is no loud music allowed in this space.
You’ll need the landlord’s permission before you decorate or renovate.
Essex Road doesn’t always see the biggest footfall, so this space would be better suited as a showroom.
