Occupying a prominent position on The Pavement, this landmark property represents an exciting opportunity for a developer or investor to bring a long-vacant building back to life and create a scheme of real quality in the heart of Clapham Old Town. Having remained vacant for some time, the building is ready for a new chapter. Its redevelopment offers the opportunity not only to unlock the considerable potential of the site, but also to make a positive contribution to the continued enhancement of one of South West London’s most established and characterful neighbourhoods.

In addition, the land to the rear may offer further development potential, providing an opportunity to explore alternative or additional ways of maximising the value of the overall site, subject to the necessary planning consents.
